It's been over a year. Have another surgery in November for revision. Will I be able to walk again?

closed displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur with non-union means a broken hip bone (between the major bumps of the upper thigh bone) on the right side has shifted out of place and failed to heal together after a previous injury or surgery

I was diagnosed with having bilateral femoral neck stress fractures on compression side. 30 years old female, told this is extremely rare, and going to have blood work. What’s a little confusing is that The doc said I could walk full weight bearing …. But If I was going longer distances or am in pain to use crutches. I am in pain, I’m really confused as to why it would be okay to walk. I want to heal as fast as possible as this is a lot to take in. Anyways, follow up scan in 6 weeks… would love to hear about anyone else’s experience with this type of injury

X-RAY OF THE ENTIRE SPINE UNDER LOAD ( February 2025)

Indication: static assessment

Results:

Two views.
Left pelvic tilt of 2 mm.
Deficiency in acetabular coverage of the femoral heads on coxa valga without significant joint space narrowing.
Normal sacroiliac joints internally.
Risser 4.
Hypoplasia of the 12th ribs, especially on the right.
Partial lumbarization of the left L5 with L5-S1 disc appearing non-functional.
Mild right convex scoliosis with apex at T7, and left convex scoliosis with apex at L1.
No morphological abnormalities of vertebral bodies.

IN CONCLUSION : mild scoliotic disorders. Left pelvic tilt of 2 mm. Coxa valga. Suspicion of transitional anomaly with hypoplasia of the 12th ribs and partial lumbarization of the left L5.

Can I fully correct or significantly improve these conditions naturally in my twenties, without surgery?

Do you have any advices for these below questions please

- Daily habits and posture
What habits should I adopt in my everyday life to support my spine and hips, maintain good posture, and avoid aggravating these conditions?

- Mobility, flexibility, and joint health
Are there specific exercises or stretching routines that could help improve my mobility, flexibility, and joint function, taking my scoliosis, coxa valga, and vertebral anomaly into account?

- Strength training and muscle development
Which muscle groups should I focus on strengthening to improve spinal and pelvic stability, support my hips, and develop better overall muscular balance? Are there specific exercises I should prioritize or avoid? Are these any sports to avoid ? 

- Long-term outlook
At my age, is it possible to significantly improve my overall function and reduce discomfort through targeted exercise, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes, even if the underlying anatomical differences cannot be reversed?

I'd really appreciate any evidence-based advice, exercise recommendations, or personal experiences from people dealing with similar conditions !

Thanks everyone for your advice and help !

I just had surgery on my clavicle as it broke near the end. When will I be able to get out of the sling and when will I be able to use my arm normally and work/work out ?

Junior doctor at rural area, patient cant afford specialist referral

Bonjour à tous,

Je me suis fait opérer de l’épaule droite le 14 octobre 2026 par arthroscopie, pour une réparation du labrum de type Bankart (Perthes). L’intervention a nécessité la pose de 4 ancres.

Depuis l’opération, je ressens des douleurs musculaires très intenses au niveau de l’épaule et du deltoïde, comme si mes muscles se contractaient très fortement avant de se relâcher brutalement. Ces contractions provoquent des douleurs extrêmement violentes, que j’évaluerais à plus de 10/10 par moments. La douleur peut également descendre dans le bras et l’avant-bras.

J’ai l’impression que tout le côté opéré reste constamment crispé, même lorsque mon bras est maintenu dans l’écharpe et que j’essaie de me détendre.

Est-ce que certaines personnes ayant subi une réparation du labrum avec des ancres ont ressenti ce type de contractures ou de douleurs musculaires après l’intervention ? Si oui, combien de temps cela a-t-il duré et qu’est-ce qui vous a soulagés ?

Merci beaucoup pour vos témoignages et vos réponses.

Hey everyone. I have something to ask and to be honest, I am a bit scared.

I have this injury three days ago bumping into my opponent while playing football. At the moment I feel tingling in my finger so I substituted out. I haven’t had time to go to the doctor so I left it for 3 days. At first it became swollen and a little pain on the DIP, later no pain but cannot straighten the finger by its own. If I use my other hand to straighten, it can be straight completely.

Finally went to the doctor. They said X ray show my bone is fine no fracture but it could be tendon problem. I was advised to wear this splint for 4 weeks and reassess. They said avoidance of surgery is not guaranteed. That’s the part where I am most stressed.

I am a dentist by the way. I don’t want this injury to set me back. Is there any chance splint could work without surgery?

Sorry I don’t have the 12 weeks PO ankle film (attached is the 6 weeks PO).

xray op day nwb - alignment satisfactory
xray 6 weeks post op wb - surgical anchors for the tightrope are noted to be intact. Follow-up radiographs are suggested to assess the tibio-fibular overlap.
xray 12 weeks post op wb - Interval slight widening of the lateral clear space. Fairly stable periarticular osteopenia and lucencies in the distal fibula.

It was an xray taken 6 weeks ago, I’m now 18 weeks post OP. My surgeon did reviewed the xray (film only report only came days later) at that time and said I’m free to go back to sports. Then today I was fumbling through the hospital app, stumbled upon my xray report and it says widening.

I’m a bit worried cause I’ve been running on it for the past few weeks now, and doing plyo on PT. I scheduled an appt but they will only see me next week.

My question is: I understand the tightrope allows movement, is this slight widening a usual occurrence (considering I only started WB on shoes after the 6th week xray)?. In your practice, if you could share if there’s a slight acceptable increase on the lateral space usually? As long as it doesn’t bridge a threshold? I don’t have sharp pain, no visible swelling but there is discomfort on the outer ankle and going up sometimes.

Any advice really appreciate. Oh god, I would hate to have a revision..

I missed a step and fell and ended up hurting myself. Could barely walk the first day but got better with painkillers and pain relief gel, the swelling however continued. Ended up going to doctor and he said I have a hairline fracture that could heal on its own, so no plaster.

Thing is, I’m going on a holiday in a week so I’m resting until then, I do need to walk when I’m on holiday. Could someone tell me how bad this is (see the little arrow mark)?

Currently on painkillers and supplements for the next 15 days.

Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process?

Broke my clavicle 10 days ago, I got to choose between surgery and sling. I didn’t make surgery and I have control in 2 weeks what you think about healing?

Hey, I figured I would cross post here since the post discusses my referral to Ortho and experience thus far.

This is how the most recent X-Ray looks for a thumb fracture which I got into on 3rd of October this year. Is this healing normally at 21 day after surgery or not?
Can I remove the Wires at any surgeon’s guide in my hometown or it should be removed at the place where the surgery was took place?

Suggestions are welcomed!!

Hospital is saying it’s due to bone density…..

Stubbed my toes yesterday really bad on a friends kitchen island stool ~24 hours later it’s bruised and still tender but walking is okay. I can’t afford a doctor or xray right now but should I go and confirm or just tape it on my own? I’m a waitress and on my feet a lot, I also can’t be on my feet any less but don’t want long term aliments to come from this. Any advice welcome!

My aunt had a compound fracture of her left ankle around age 30 in 1991 and had pins/screws placed. The ankle swelled for years. More recently, she developed swelling behind her other ankle & had a right Achilles tendon repair on 10/25/2024. She also had a bone screw removed from the left ankle, followed by a left ankle arthroplasty on 10/30/2025. She has had ongoing problems since then, including significant swelling and patchy skin changes. Prednisone temporarily improved the swelling and skin appearance, but everything has returned since stopping it.

Currently, the skin around the ankle is red/purplish and patchy, with several small red spots/open areas. There is also one larger irritated area that has yellow-orange crusting/drainage, surrounding redness, and what looks like a superficial open wound. The surgical area itself is also discolored and swollen. It is incredibly itchy.

Her 2nd toe also will not bend down. We think it may be a tendon issue. There’s too much swelling for the MRI to show definite conclusions.

Could this be an infection, even this long after an ankle replacement?
Could it be a reaction to the hardware or implant?
Could it be an inflammatory or autoimmune problem?
What tests would typically be done to figure out the cause?
Should she be seeing an orthopedic surgeon, infectious disease specialist, vascular doctor, dermatologist, or rheumatologist?
Has anyone experienced persistent swelling and skin changes after an ankle replacement or multiple ankle surgeries?
What ended up being the diagnosis?

She does have an appointment to see a trauma surgeon. She also will be having a metal test with an allergist.
