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.
Amazing presententation. Thanks so much. Is there a way to communicate with any of the presenters incase someone from any part of the world has an interesting case they would like to have input from the presenters.
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 :(
Thank you so much for hosting this webinar it was really enjoyable

Great webinar, learned a lot from this, will be measuring RABG routinely now, thanks!
😊
Thank you very much for this video
I love the little girl getting in the discussion.....so cute
Bless her heart.....she wants her daddy
Excellent cases for discussion…..in the last X-ray I think the screws in plate….proximal to the fracture Site broke….

how about using PTH analog in these? some good evidence on it, depite its expense.
