Tibial bone fracture just below the knee
2 Plates & 14 screws in 2000 with reduced lateral knee joint space.He wasn't feeling any pain until last year when he accidentally hurt the same knee again.He is 60 yrs old & its been 17 years since the first injury.
He is havin troubles climbing up & down the staircase/inclined roads.He feels tightness around the knee & like his knee will buckle.
The doctor suggested HWR & knee replacement surgeries.He is overweight & we are scared the screw holes will weaken the bone & won't take his weight.
