Hi, I m a forty six year old woman, who is visually impaired. I broke my knee in two places last October, the doctor put some kind of metal in m leg. I was walking perfectly fine before I broke my knee. I was in rehab for four months. I ve been home for eight months now and still walk like I m hopping and my balance is really off. should the doctor have just replaced my knee. I m so miserable
Hello, I have studied your case. I think that you might be having knee joint malunion. It can cause knee arthritis. I would suggest you to meet your doctor and get x ray of the knee joint. If there is knee arthritis or misplaced screws than you might need a revision surgery. if screws and plate are in normal position than you just need to do physiotherapy. If you want you can share x ray images with me, I will try my best to help you. thanks
