Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had surgery when i was 10, I am now 17. I fractured my ankle and tibia. But now im having really bad back pains and my spine is somehow curved now. The leg i which i had surgery on is now shorter than the other. I have plates and screws holding it in place. What can i do to fix it?
The most probable reason for your back pain is curved spine. Looking at your details the most probable reason for your curved back is your shorter one leg. To compensate your pelvis your spine curves towards shorter leg. To correct this you should wear shoe raises in your shorter side of leg.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
