Tibia alignment/angulation after FX and surgery

millersva

How does the alignment/angle look here? will this heal correctly, or do you think a second surgery is advisable to attain better alignment.

Thanks

Hi,
How did they align the bone, was it closed reduction and manipulation?
I think you need to keep a watch on alignment and keep getting repeated x-rays every weekly or every fortnightly.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.

Hi,
It is not aligned exactly. It would heal but incorrectly. I would like to know when did you have fracture and has any cast being put?
Keep me informed.
Bye.
