Suggest Remedy For Problem In Bone
I broke my tibia 7 weeks ago. The fracture had minimum displacement. My OS placed a patellar cast 2 weeks ago. However, I had a minor scare at a restaurant where I slipped and lost balance and accidently stepped on my broken leg. The doc gave me permission to put 45-50% of my weight on it. But my concern is whether the bone can move after 7 weeks?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that movement can not take place if your limb is in cast. This can only happen if cast is broken or damaged. But yes it can displaced after 7 weeks also as some time there is only soft callous and it can get broke. So I would recommend you to get a check x ray to see if every thing is alright.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
