Tibia Condyle Fracture Treatment
Hello Doctor,
I had a bike accident 1.5 months ago and fractured tibia in my left leg. Doctor put cylinder cast in my leg and now after 1.5 months he suggest me to weight bearing slowly for 1st week and then for normal walk.
But in the new x-ray report there i have seen the fracture line is still visible. Now my question is how doctor allow me to walk. Can i start walk with the visible fracture line? Kindly suggest.
Both X-ray reports are enclosed.
