Tibia fracture
29yr male this side. i met with an accident on 19-9-23 as my 2 wheeler slipped and i suffered a tibial fracture.
i visited an orthopedician and he said that these type of fracture can be treated conservatively by cast plaster, so to subside swelling he gave me a pop slab for 10 days.
on 30-9-23 , i visited again and the fracture traction and reduction (closed)was done and above knee cast plaster was given, with followup scheduled for 21 days.
i visited on 21-10-23, and an xray was done(which i am attaching) sir i want to know about the healing, that
any healing is there or not?
any sign of callus?
any sign of union?
the doctor said that after 10 days i.e. on 31-10-23, above knee cast will be converted to ptb cast.
sir kindly tell me abt the healing. and if the line of treatment is correct?

Considering your age ,I opt for surgical intervention .
Soft callus would be formed by 3 weeks, which is not that much evident in xray. It would take 6 weeks to confirm union on xray
Next Steps
consult orthopaedician near by and plan for surgical intervention
