Can Infection Come Again On Fractured Leg?
I had fractured my leg and plate was installed in nov 2011, infection developed in that leg after 9 weeks and pus was removed. And the infection was brought under control. I did not have any problem for last two years. Can the infection come up again. Is there any test with which I can detect if there is any infection at this time

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
You can undergo CBC(complete blood count). Raised TCL count will suggest sign in infection. Immunity of the body play major role in infection control. If body's immunity becomes low then infection can come. Similarly if injury occurs again and infected wound forms then also it can spread deep.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
