Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Kindly provide details of the original injury diagnosis. Were these arthritic changes present previously? If yes, then there is less scope of wondering if the surgery caused you this problem. Also arthritis is not uncommon after orif and plating which would have been mentioned in the consent form you signed before having the operation.

Kindly provide the answers to the above questions for me to be in a better position to help you.

Thanks and regards.
