Suggest Treatment For Breakage Of Femer In Knee
Dear Doctor I am a 55 year old woman. I now limp & can not dance walk skip or have any fun because I had a break in the femur in 2009 a plate was put in place. the knee did not have full radius so the same dr went into the O.R. & moved it manually to get it to move. well needless to say its 2014 & i still do not have full radius in the knee. this is humiliating & the plate needs to be removed.

Hello,
If your fracture is completely healed then this plate can be removed. At the time of surgery knee Rom can be improved with the help of manipulation and surgery. Some time release of fibrous tissue can be done.it will help in movements also. If there is any further advise is needed then you can send your present x rays to me.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
