FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Will I need the hardware removed?
Not always. Many patients have no problems with hardware left in place. Removal is considered if there is irritation, infection, or in young patients with growth remaining.
How long before I can walk after leg fracture surgery?
This depends on the fracture location and fixation stability. Some allow immediate weight bearing; others require 6-12 weeks of protected weight bearing.
What if the fracture doesn't heal?
Non-union occurs in about 2-5% of fractures. Treatment may include bone grafting, revision fixation, or bone stimulator.
