I know this isn’t a medical site, but also know there are several members here in the medical field. Plus lots of you have been broken and put back together with varying results. So here’s where I’m at on this femur break. I have Kaiser insurance but the surgery was done at a non Kaiser facility. I had my follow up ortho appt Thursday with a Kaiser ortho. I knew by the look on his face and his answers he wasn’t impressed but he also knew not to throw anyone under the bus. The broken piece is pretty obviously not “between” the top and bottom bones, the floating piece appears to be barely held in place with the tip of one screw, and that leg is easily a half inch shorter from the hip to knee. He said there is a 50/50 chance of having to go back in and redo it. He wants me to wait 4 weeks to see if the bones are starting to bridge the gap. I’m going to call Monday and say I want it redone right ASAP. “50/50” chance of healing with a 100% chance of a shorter leg doesn’t seem like much of an option to me. Anyone have a repair like this heal ? He said it’s not a good time with covid and the hospitals overwhelmed, obvious surgery risks etc etc. But I feel like I need to push to have it right sooner than later. What would you do ? Wait the 4 weeks and hope it’s healing and not worry about the leg length discrepancy or say fuck it make it right now even though that requires another surgery and an unpleasant bone graft. I fee like all the pt I’m doing to get it to heal is like polishing a turd, what’s the point ? Anyway what would you do ?
