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.
Full displacement fracture of my radius and ulna 8 months ago, proximal third. ORIF with twelve screws, and two plates roughly 1/3 the length of my forearm bones. Currently weightlifting (Deadlift, press, bench press) with up to approximately 125% of my bodyweight. What is the likelihood that increased bone density from lifting will compromise my hardware?
hi hope this msg finds u in good health.. i have gone through your complaints and under stand your concern. 8 months post surgery is a good time to heal.. if ur current xray shows solid union.. u can do almost all your routine work. if u do strenous job..u shud get ur hardware removed 1st and then start heavy jobs. nothing to worry about. Hope your question has been answered. if u have any follow up queries, feel free to consult me anytime. thanks Take care god bless
