Tibia fracture
I met with an accident and had tibia and fibula Fracture (open Fracture). For reducing the risk of infection, doctor fixed Fracture with external fixation and removed it after wound healed. 1 month later inserted IM nail. Now it's 15th week after 2nd surgery (IM nail) and i am walking with elbow crutch. I have attached x-ray of post surgery and as on 13th week.
Pls advice 1. Is it healing normally? 2. Is it safe to travel everyday to the office? 3. Is there a risk of non union or infection? 4. When I walk without any support? 5.is the alignment correct? Pls advice I m panic since healing delayed.. thanks
