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.
my dad was in a bad car accident and broke his hip and shattered his knee. broke the tibia and fibula. the surgeon fixed and rest what was need. while he was in the rehabilitation center he was dropped and his fibula was rebroken and the doctor said it would heal by its self that it wasn t out of place. well 3 months later his hip is fine the knee is fine but he is having stabbing pain in his leg. his doctor did an x-ray said that the bone wasn t even touching the other half and is sticking out sideways. then tells him he don t need that bone to walk. but when he tries the bone is stabbing him. why won t he fix my dads fibula?
Fibula is not a weight bearing bone and no need to fix it. If you experience the pain because of malalligned fibula, it must be excised. Consult an orthopedic and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
