Description

Hussein asked me an interesting question. He said, 


“I fractured my tibia and fibula. Is it normal after 50 days the fracture is still visible under x-ray, but I am walking with crutches and putting partial weight bearing without any pain or discomfort? My treatment was with a fiberglass cast without any surgery since the bones were not displaced.”

Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
