Suggest Treatment For Tibia Fracture In A 15 Months Old Child
I have a 15 month old who fractured her tibia. the cast came off three days ago and she is still walking on the ball of her foot. when they put her cast on her foot was angled down. How long will it take for those tndons to loosen up so she can walk flat footed?
HI your child needs cast which is immobile for atleast 6 weeks for the tibial fracture to heal.PLEASE SHOW TO ORTHOPAEDICIAN for proper cast.and dont encourage her to walk as it further aggravates the alignment.
