Introduction

During limb lengthening surgery, the doctor cuts through the bone to be lengthened and inserts an external fixator to stabilize it. This procedure relies on the body's natural ability to grow new bones, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissues. A titanium rod is inserted, gradually increasing and stretching as it is absorbed into the body, resulting in a few extra inches of height.

I am 20 year grand daughter who is taking care of my 70+age grandmother who has ankle fracture a month ago.We are not allowed to have surgery because operation won't be success.She has tight bandage in first week,after 15 days.What is the best steps to be taken now?And the second question is I am helping her with bedpan for excretion.But at night, She expects to use bedpan.But I suggest adult tape briefs.What should I use at night?

Female | 70

Older individuals are more prone to falls and fractures. The incidence of ankle fractures in older patients is high and severe in some cases. The treatment is difficult and complicated in nature due to presence of comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and poor bone quality.
Treatment goals include: Stability of the joint, ability of the patient to perform daily activities independently and minimizing complications associated with fracture and other comorbid conditions.

RICE is a part of the Non-operative management of ankle fracture in older patients which includes:

R: The importance of rest cannot be overstated. In order for the fracture to heal faster limit yourself from further pressure on the foot.

A cast will most likely be worn to keep the foot and ankle immobile. In case of severe soft tissue swelling, a cast may be required for the first three to five days. The brace must be worn for six weeks in order to allow the fracture to heal. Cast fixation with off-loading is advised for poor bone quality depending on the radiography report.

Ice: For reducing the swelling and inflammation, apply ice to the region for 20 minutes at a time.

And continue further for every 40 minutes.

Compression: Wrapping the area in a bandage helps to reduce swelling.

Elevation: To assist reduce inflammation, lift your foot and ankle slightly above the level of your heart.

I have been having pain below my left knee cap where the patella tendon is and I am thinking I have jumper knee. I work on Concrete floor all day. I have been having thing pain for a week now.

Male | 21

You may be dealing with patellar tendonitis - or “jumper’s knee”. This is typically caused by the tendon below your kneecap becoming inflamed due to activities such as standing all day on hard surfaces. Common signs include pain beneath the kneecap that worsens when moving. The upside is that taking some time off, using ice packs, and doing some light stretching exercises can help relieve discomfort. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.

My back is tight and it keeps pulsating. If I try to sleep with my back facing the pillow I get these tightness

Male | 28

Tightness and pulsation in your back can stem from muscle strain, stress, or poor posture during sleep. This discomfort may intensify when resting on your back, as certain positions can strain your muscles. To alleviate these symptoms, consider gentle stretching, using a supportive mattress, and practicing relaxation techniques. Heat therapy may also help soothe tension. If the issue persists or worsens, I recommend seeking guidance from an orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Your well-being is important, and getting expert advice can be beneficial.

I am 60 Years old( I have diabetics) and I am having bad leg pull and lower back pain from past few days. My ankles and thumb are a bit swollen. This will remain for few days and go after a good rest/ or take a DOLO 650. This will return after few days. There are no other complaints.

Female | 60

These symptoms may be related to your diabetes, which can cause nerve damage and poor blood circulation, leading to pain and swelling in the legs and feet. While DOLO 650 can provide temporary relief, managing your diabetes is key to preventing these issues. Follow your treatment plan, maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and exercise regularly to improve circulation. Remember to elevate your legs when resting and wear light shoes to reduce swelling. If the pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.

Female | 39

It’s great that you're observing changes in your body, like muscle growth in your right leg. This could be due to various factors, such as increased physical activity, changes in diet, or even benign conditions like hypertrophy. Since you mentioned there's no pain or orthopedic issue, it’s often not a cause for concern. However, it’s advisable to consult an orthopedist who can evaluate your situation thoroughly.

Female | 22

If you were hit by wood and now your leg is swollen, hurts and you can’t walk properly, wood has fractured your bone. A fracture occurs when a bone breaks. Make sure to see an orthopedist who can do an X-ray to confirm if there is a fracture or not and before then, keep on taking Panadol for pain and apply ice to reduce swelling. Rest the leg as much as possible.

Pectus excavatum is when your chest sinks inward. It happens because of how your ribs and breastbone develop. Although breathing troubles can happen, you said you're okay there, which is good. To keep an eye on things, talking to an orthopedist is wise. They can suggest the best approach for managing your condition.

My feet have been in pain for 3 weeks should i get a x ray Should I go out in sunlight

Male | 22

An X-ray can be a solution in giving information if there is any problem that needs to be addressed, but nodal swelling, contusions, and mobility running are some signs of these pains. In other words, if the sun is both good for you and needed for the building of your vitamin D, still let your feet be in a good position and wear comfortable shoes. Thus, the most vital requirements are to ensure you have a good rest, apply cold to the painful area, and elevate your legs. I recommend you seek medical advice from an orthopedist to undertake a thorough examination and receive a customized prescription.

It's important to address your recurring lower back pain, especially since it's now affecting your hip area. These symptoms could indicate a musculoskeletal issue or a possible strain.

They can evaluate your condition, suggest appropriate exercises or treatments, and provide guidance on managing and preventing further discomfort.

Lower back pain.Fenak plus taken.Pl suggest some pain killer as Fenak plus is strong

Male | 67

Tab. Fenak Plus is an anti-inflammatory medication that you have taken for your back pain. Lower back pain can be of two types mechanical (activity-related / mechanical pain) or an inflammatory low back pain seen in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Painkiller tablets will help in both, but what’s important to differentiate is the type of back pain present, which can be done on evaluation of the patients based on their history and physical examination. I would recommend you to visit an Orthopedic doctor near you

Female | 18

Persistent numbness in right hip may result from irritation of nearby nerves or muscle tension. While icing can help with discomfort, it’s important to address ongoing symptoms. Consider consulting your doctor again for a thorough evaluation, which may include physical examination or imaging studies to rule out any underlying issues. They could recommend physical therapy, targeted exercises, or further diagnostics.
