Question : Please direct the question to Dr. XXXXXXX Tayal.
Hello Doctor,
In continuation to the problem we spoke couple of days back. When we sent entire reports to our surgeon, he suggested to have bed rest for 4-6 weeks. He is suspecting there could minor cracks near to end portion of stent( near to hip area). He is in opinion that giving bed rest for 4-6 weeks will help to heal the crack itself. Can you please check the attached reports and suggest?

Brief Answer:
She needs complete rest.
Detailed Answer:
She has to be non weight bearing to prevent any further injury to the joint. It is best to take absolute bed rest. Wearing a long splint with normal activity will not help.
