Hello Doctor, I had my surgery two weeks ago for removal of 2 plates, 11 screws and 2 wires, from my tibia, which were put in when I suffered a bi-condular tibial plateau fracture graded as Schatzker VI. Want to know how long would I need to use a walker / stick. When can I start full weight bearing?
Hello, Since your doctor removed these plates and screws I presume that the fracture was completely healed. Usually, I remove the metal implants when the fracture is healed, and I tell the patient to start weight-bearing after 2 weeks when you remove the skin stitches. There are other cases that we may remove the impla...

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.

You might have a problem with the \"rotator cuff\", often a small tear at the attachment of this structure (which allows you to lift the limb).

Hi there, Im happy to know that you have done well after treatment and are on regular followup. Chills and rigors are usually caused by infection.
