me again,
fracture 20th January on holiday in Australia, treated with POP slab for 2/52 and 4 weeks ortho shoe. Xray after 6 weeks showed widened fracture line and advised ORIF which I could not have in Oz as would have had to cancel return flight.
Upon return to UK was advised to weight bear to stimulate bone growth but this did not occur and repeat xray showed further signs of non union so underwent ORIF mid May. Post op xray last week shows fracture lines widened again- have been advised once again to partial weight bear to try and stimulate bone growth. I am obviously concerned that this strategy will fail again.
Am I worrying unnecessarily? Is there anything I can do to help situation?
Thanks.
Jane
