Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
10 yr old boy with broken growth plate in rhs big toe, suffered injury a week ago, foot was placed in semi-cast but cast was removed by the second day due to discomfort. Child is running around with minimal pain. Will there be any negative repercussions if i dont follow up with the Orthopedic surgeon? The injury seems to be healing fine as most of the swelling is gone and the bruising has subsided almost completely
