What Causes Pain And Warmth In Leg After A Tibia Fracture In A Child?
My two year old son broke his tibia. He had a cast on for five weeks. The doctor took it off four days ago. My son cries that it still hurts. He will not put pressure on his leg. Not even let his toes touch the ground. Now his leg seem really hot. Is this normal?

What Causes Pain And Warmth In Leg After A Tibia Fracture In A Child?
HI...this is not normal. There are 2 possibilities - 1. Osteomyelitis or infection of the underlying bone. 2. Skin and soft tissue infection of the local area. I needs examination by a physician and evaluation. I suggest you get back to either your pediatrician or orthopedic surgeon. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
