Question:
Will i get artritis from my fractured fibula???
Hi, everyone i fractured my fibula which looks like this - http://www.parkerscheer.com/newsletter/f... - I was seen in ohio when the Orthopedists there said i would need surgery, a week later i flew to arizona because of insurance issues and the orthopedists there said i didnt need surgery!! I asked him "what about the long run, will i have arthritis in the spot" and he said no, right now im worried that i will and thinking of going to a different hopital and getting surgery done there so i dont have arthritis in the long run!!
Answers:
It's possible, but you wouldn't know for months to years after wards. Surgery wouldn't prevent arthritis if you were going to get it anyways.
