AO Trauma NA Webinar: Non-Union? Let's Solve It!

[@1024det]

I had two surgeries on my tibia. Skiing accident, with a slight radial twist fracture. I discovered I had a union after I was told it was healed. While on the treadmill the plate eventually got weak and broke. Fast forward had my second surgery this time I went to HSS. There was a c reactive protein in my blood work, I brought up as a metabolic issues, but they went ahead and did a bone graph and two fixations. Fast forward 18 months later. I started to feel pain in my leg again like I had before with the non union. I cannot go back to HSS because I changed insurance, and hospitals wont take me as a new patient since we have the immigrant crisis here. Im stuck at home trying to figure out why my tibia is not healing. I eat healthy, wild caught salmon and dark leafy greens every day. I take vit D. I do not take calcium as I have kidney stones.

my 3 months x-ray on a severely comminuted mid tibia fracture due to 9mm bullet wound showed no progress... should I plan for a non-union? Or is there hope that by 6 months I'll be healing and maybe it's a delayed union? I don't feel like my local doctors are talking about any of this stuff.

I had an avulsion fracture (anterior process calcaneus) 8 weeks ago and my x ray yesterday showed no progress :( the orthopaedist told me it can heal or not but it doesn’t matter cause the fracture is so small and I better focus on healing the ligaments 😳😳 I am so worried cause I don’t want to have a bone that is not healed. I was wearing CAM boot for over 6 weeks :(
