Suggest Treatment For Displacement Fracture
Full displacement fracture of my radius and ulna 8 months ago, proximal third. ORIF with twelve screws, and two plates roughly 1/3 the length of my forearm bones. Currently weightlifting (Deadlift, press, bench press) with up to approximately 125% of my bodyweight. What is the likelihood that increased bone density from lifting will compromise my hardware?

8 months post surgery is a good time to heal.. if ur current xray shows solid union.. u can do almost all your routine work.
if u do strenous job..u shud get ur hardware removed 1st and then start heavy jobs.
nothing to worry about.
