I recently had surgery for a trimalleolar ankle fracture. The very first thing my surgeon said to me when we met was, "Are you a smoker?" I replied that I wasn't, and he basically replied, "Good, because I wouldn't do your surgery if you were". I knew there were health risks with smoking, but I never realized it had such an impact on bone healing....glad I never took up that dirty habit.
Wow, I started to tear up for that poor person at the end of the video. I'm 9 weeks post op from a severe TPF and am praying everything is okay. Still NWB and very scared and alone in my recovery.
Karen Alderisio was sad to hear you are scared and alone. is there anyone who lives near you that could comfort you or take you out. I'm currently being taken out shopping using the supermarket wheelchair lol. how are you? hope your doing ok xx
Thank you, Dr. Nabil. I am now feeling much less anxious about the possibility/probability of non-union of my 8-week-old non-displaced tib-fib fractures. Do you have, or would you consider creating, a video about the role of nutrition in the healing process of a bone fracture? Thanks again.
@@eliasnyc1 I'm curious too, I've a nonunion from 8-5-19 and it snaps/pops out of place when I'm walking as I've no one to help me clean or groceries, and with Physical Therapy
Dr Nabil means even so much more than these ridiculous kind of so called professors and medical health care here in Belgium with no any knowledge how to treat severe difficult non-union beaks fractures at all. That's why it would be really excellent if Dr Nabil Abreihim could be making his professions in Belgium hospitals instead please💫🙏🍀
Had a very bad open fracture tibia in the summer, 27 weeks later my tibia is slowly healing but doctor said if not much improved then he'll insert a larger nail rod. However he confident it will improved. I hope so because I hate surgery
I had a plate which broke, now have the 12mm nail rammed down the tibia. More confident of the nail than the plate strength. Still difficult to twist or walk at normal speed. 5 months of exogen ultrasound treatments to finish yet. IME Surgeons are always confident when there are more surgical options for them to do. Once they exhaust those, they get defensive and the previous positive promises evaporate. Human nature
Unfortunately here in Belgium all the Professional healthcare seems to be still completely failure in difficult kind of fractures especially according to beaks fractures and that's why I even don't know anymore how to deal with this because no any succesfull medical help for difficult non-union beaks fractures at all here in Belgium still unfortunately
10 years ago I got shot in the femur right leg. It shattered about 4-5 inches of the bone. UC San Diego put a rod in. I haven't had any problems and don't even limp. I'm 76 and even run on it. Starting to have a little pain near the hip where they put the screw. Is it possible for the screws or even the rod to get loose or bend?. Don't have pain all the time. Mainly after rebounding or a long walk. I guess an Ex-ray should give me the answers. Do these rods or screws need to be replaced after a few years?
I'm 18 and fell 6 meters back onto concrete and crushed the neck of my femur. Had a rod in and a plate with some bolts. Am now almost 1 year down the line and still having a lot of pain along the break site and am terrified it is a non union meaning I have to live with this pain for the rest of my life.
@@ankitshukla7896 You bet and still exercising a lot. No pain and will be 80 in July. I had some great Doctors. The pain I was having in the hip area are gone also. Thanks for asking.
I was also shot 12 years ago with a sawed off 12 gauge...blew my knee n lower leg of...they did awesome job rebuilding it...and a few years later crashed my motorcycle n broke femur on same leg ...got infected bsdly...n now broke tibia n not healing
I was in serious mva 2017.. Calcaneus surgery that resulted on non union... Cut nerves ... Pain is excruciating... Nobody wants to operate again? Past 3 years.....
I have broken my tibia and have a non union been 6 months now since break and still no sign of healing safe to say I'm fed up i need to get bsck to work as been declined sick pay may need another operation yet I don't know what to do
Same problem..it's been 10month..i am suffering with nonunion tibia..i really feel depressed now ..my doctor did fibular osteotomy..he said after doing that operation maybe tibia will join but not sure ..i did that last month..but if the bone will not join then i have to do grafting..i can't do it anymore..it's just frustrating..don't know what to do ..i m just 24yr old
Well i had the same fracture including 13 more features in other parts . My pubic fracture healed with bed rest only . But for a month and a half i had to lie flat on my back , cant even sleep on side . What a hell of a experience it was
I had an acc. On 15 april 2018. and till oct my open fractured tebia n fubiya not joined normally...I m 36 yrs old. Doct n my openion was that bone may take 6 to 8 months more...so I have decided to surgery for rode ..because I m too much hopeless...
The doctors keep forcing me to make extra movement right after they implanted my open fractured femur. Now I'm suffering nonunion and bacterial infections housing in my fractured femur. Almost two years this year. I'm having unhealed wounds and a lot of pain. 😢😭
thanks for the info.. had my 1st op left femoral shaft in sept last year, after 6 months the bone won't heal may be due to lot of movements bcos i'm using crutches after that my doc suggest me to have bone graft (pelvic bone) in april this year .. what are the percentage of healing after bone graft? how long it take to recover my bone? I'm 26 and female, not smoking nor drinking..

Dr. I was involved in a rear end accident in November 2017 an ambulance driver hit me. I have a fracture proximal humerus that started to heal then stopped now it is nonunion I am almost 60 and have been using a bone stimulator for 33 days 2 treatments a day and I am not feeling any different how long should it take to feel better and is there a chance that it won't work ??
Suzanne Brookman hope it has healed now. I’m 58 and my non-union tibia was prescribed 150 daily bone stimulator (exogenous) treatments. Started these 10 months after my motorbike accident July 2018 and am now on day 40. 110 days to go. It had better work!
@@kdkd693 how you doing 7 months later... i was hit on my motorcycle too. I fractured my tibia too... I had surgery and they put a rod on it. But it seems is not healing as they thought. So by mid April they will decide to remove the rod and try other methods.

U should do Bone grafting talk with your doctor about if its not non union doing it on time will be good for u
Can it also be caused by bones being too far apart? Mine are about close to half an inch Apart
i'm not a doctor, but i found the gap it should be less than half the diameter of the bone.
How u will feel now?
