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 Causes Scabs At The Point Of Screws In Ankle?
10 weeks following surgery to fix a broken right ankle spiral fracture, there are scabs directly above where 3 of her 10 screws were installed. Could her walking boot be too tight, or what might cause this?
Wife is a 50 yr old woman in good health, 5'4" height and 138lbs bodyweight. Never any prior orthopedic surgeries; she only had 1 surgery for appendicitis when she was 13 years old.
