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.
What Can Cause Pain In The Broken Arm When Hold Tightly?
my daughter broke her arm - radius and ulnar in April and had surgery to insert pins and plates as the bones were not able to be aligned. At the time I was advised that she would need to plates removed. I attended a review last week and was told that she may not need to have them removed and am now confused. She complains of pain in the arm if someone holds her arm tightly but is otherwise fine.
Hi, there! Metal construction removal is planned after 12-24months since surgery. The pain is possible,when pressing soft tissue against plates, pins etc., but otherwise its possible that there is no full consolidation of fracture. Follow-up X-rays needed.
I hope this helps
