What Does Tibial Head Fracture Suggest?
I am 39 years old, female. I fell at work on October 3. I had an x-ray at hat tim that was negative. After enduring great pain on my 2 week follow-up I was referred for MRI. MRI shows a tibial head fracture with bone bruising. I see the Orthopedist this Thursday what houd I expect and wha damage may have been done ecause I have been ambulatingfor 3.5 weks on the fracture? I am currently on crutches and nne weiht bearing until I see the Orthopedist on Thursday.

Hello,
If you are non weight bearing even after 2 weeks of fracture with support even then there should be no problem with your tibia until unless there is displacement of fracture. The difference will be that it may take slightly longer to heal completely.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
