Thanks for you expertise on this! The neck fracture was actually from a previous injury, so they strengthened it while performing the main surgery. Hoping to accelerate your recovery timeline though…

This video caught my eye since I had femoral spiral compound fracture when I was 3 years old just by jumping off running board of my Dad's pickup. I am now 72 so LONG time ago. My treatment involved casting and 6 weeks with my legs suspended in the air in hospital for 6 weeks. By the time cast was removed had apparently quite a bit of muscle atrophy and took awhile to walk normally again. Recovered quite well but would not want to be immobilized like that now! Love your informative videos Dr. Webb!

Wow, that is amazing--walking immediately after surgery! 100 years ago and this would have likely been a crippling injury or death. 50 years ago and it was weeks and weeks of recovery. Nowadays, you are walking within 24 hours of the accident and sent home the next day. Thank you science.

@coconoisette 2 года назад

It's in part due to us learning more about the very damaging effects of atrophy and trying to reduce immobilisation as much as possible- the patients cannot use their leg as usual right after surgery, but they're strongly advised to move it anyways just so they don't end up having to do 2 years of physiotherapy after :) But science really did come a long way!

Thank you for posting this informative video, it was very helpfull in understanding trauma surgery. 1,5 years ago I broke my femur bone from falling down a roof, it was only about 3 meters and I was 30 years old, but I fell very hard. Long gammanail surgery happened and it took me 6 months untill they removed the pin, I was unable to walk normally when the pin was inside my leg and was able to walk without sticks 3 months after surgery, but with a wobble. After another 3 months they remove my long gamma nail and I was able to walk again after a few days, without a wobble and like normally. The pain was something I can't describe, very thankful for surgery and people that work as surgeon, your work is really amazing piece of art and helped me. Also back in the days someone would die from femur fracture, nowadays surgeons can do so much its amazing.

@elizabethshields1719 2 года назад

Watching this video and when I saw the x-ray that made my legs hurt-ouch! I remember seeing the competition when Tony Hawk performed the 900 for the first time in competition and broke his ankle. If memory serves me correct I believe three screws and a plate were put in to stabilize everything while healing. Hopefully Tony heals up with no problems.

@Richie5480 2 года назад

A broken femur is a serious injury that requires immediate medical care. Let me fist say that pain was unbearable, even after they gave me morphine it still was hurting. I had fallen off a ladder at work in 2005 I had a Broken femur. They put about 8 screws and a plate inside of my left leg, after that recovery I was in so much pain, I would come home from work and just sit in my easy chair for an hour or so. Then about 2011 I had total knee replacement by Dr Crovetti in Henderson NV, what an amazing Dr and staff, I feel much better now, thanks Dr Crovetti for all you did.

When I was 14 I fell and dislocated my knee and popped the rod out of the femur but not through the skin. They quickly put me under and took that one out 😂

@Scott-yu4yt 2 года назад

Not a PA but worked in an ortho practice for a few years before starting med school. Going to depend on the provider but essentially seeing post-ops/follow-ups, doing joint injections, first assisting in every surgery, rounding in the mornings if you’re doing in-patient cases like joints/spine. A lot would let their PAs see new patients and manage them within their scope of care, but some wouldn’t and wanted to see every new patient. I think a lot of it just comes down to how much they trust you. Of all the subspecialties in ortho I think hand/wrist PAs got to do the most and theres no rounding since its all outpatient cases.

@MrMwmussel1 2 года назад

The emergence medical splinting for the is basically a bicycle seat on a telescoping pole. The seat sits in the patients groin while the far end straps to the foot/ankle. The the pole is elongated to, if I remember right, 5 pounds of force stretching the leg out so the ends of the break to not over lap and can return to a more natural alignment and reduce pain.

@nocalsteve 2 года назад

It’s called a Sager splint, and one of the main benefits of applying traction to a femur fracture is that it stretches out the thigh muscles which will cramp when the leg is shortened. Traction provides a great deal of pain relief.

This was interesting. In '71 I had a (car accident,) left comminuted femur, broken into 4x2" pieces, and a compound left tib and fib. 2" femur shortening thru surgeon error. 4 months in hospital and non-weight bearing full plaster for a further 8 months. 5 ops. Then 15 years later a right femur shortening by 2" to line me up. Sadly my leg was joined up 60* out. So a de-rotational osteotomy was performed. Now, 51 years later, my left knee clonking is my only issue. Still have the 10" steel plate with 8 screws on right femur.

@MyDogmatix Год назад

Thanks for this, I just got my nail put in last month. Then a second surgery as the rotation of my leg was off and the bottom screw needed to be adjusted… so that sucked. I’m 41 year old male and all I did was slip on ice while trying to help push a car slipping on the ice on the road. So let that be a lesson to everyone. This can happen to not just Tony hawk. Too bad for me, there’s large chunk of bone that the Psoas muscle on the left side attaches to that has completely broken off. Doctors here keep saying I’m a young man and it will heal. With no additional surgery for that one piece, I’m not sure how that will happen, but hey, I’m just kinda glad I’m not the only younger guy that this happens to.

Dr. Webb, my background is in engineering and woodworking, but the woodworking side of me makes me think about how I’d repair a table leg or post… and that would be with pins (wooden or metal) and epoxy.

@@aRealParadise You're on track then, I found that I was in pain a lot longer than I thought I would be. Not like crippling pain but just dull, achy and throbby pain especially once you get out of the cast and into the moonboot and start doing physical therapy. My foot and ankle would swell and get super sore even just from standing up for a few minutes once I got into my moon boot. You're lucky they gave you a spinal freeze, I just got the nerve block, probably why it hurt more straight out of surgery. I had read on forums when I was researching before I got surgery that a lot of people said it was the most pain they'd ever been in and honestly they weren't wrong lol.

Would love to have your thoughts about my xrays and ct images of my fractures. Had a HET and fractured my acetabulem left, my left SI APC like, my OS Sacrum left and a shattered OS Pubis. My left femur was classified as the most severe comminuted fractures on 2 stages, proximal and distal. The lose fragment on the lateral side is 12 cm. Many lose bone fragment in the femur. The distal fracture was an open fracture with a Morell Lavalee leasion of 15 by 12 cm My Tibea plateau was a very strong comminuted fracture with again a lot of lose bone fragments. My distal Tibia was a strong comminuted fracture Right Antebrachi, Radius was comminuted and has a 12 cm plate. The right Ulna was fixed with K wire Left Antebrachi. The Radius was comminuted and the Ulna was very strong comminuted and open and non union with a gap of 14 mm. After 12 months I got a spongiosa. Also my L5 Tranverse was fractured and I had a SAB I got 6 long surgeries in 9 days. Stayed a month in the hospital and 4 months in rehab center. I recently was tested by an Orthopedic surgeon for the insurance company. He expected to see a man walking with a roller, since the healing process with these kind of injuries takes normally 3-4 years, the accident happened in March 2021. The trauma surgeons delivered a top notch job he said and you rehabbed very hard. My ACL left though is very weak which makes it hard to gain muscle and strength.

I broke my left kneecap almost 7 years ago and was weight bearing as tolerated after surgery. I broke my left foot back in February and was weight bearing as tolerated at 3 weeks. I got a boot right around 3 weeks after breaking my foot, but before that I was just in cast shoe. I am doing great now after both. I am just nervous going up and down stairs as I slipped on a stair and tumbled down the rest when I broke my left foot.

Sounds like you need to do some simple balance drills to build your confidence up so you don’t have to worry about a slip on the stairs next time :).

Just broke my femur. Worst pain ever.

@agasalmans Год назад

Hello Dr! Great video! What happens if the femor bone is inflammed and irritated with a very slight chip but not fracture. Can it heal itself ?

@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose 2 года назад

I fractured my femur as a child. Barely any impact I just tripped while walking. no one could figure out why it had fractured until we found out I had a genetic condition wearing my bones and ligaments.

Just do an external fixation and call it a day 😉. Like building stuff when you were a kid.

@samanthasimental3788 2 года назад

I broke my femur they had to remove many crushed pieces of my bone even with the rod and screws it took over a year to heal, but I was walking within 3 months. That is only cause I also broke my ankle and had 2 screws there. They never took them out.
