Patient's question:
The doctor took an X-ray of the child at 86 days. Please check the complete recovery status. Can the steel plate be removed after 100 days? How does the bottom screw affect the child's growth? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Based on your observation, the alignment is good. It takes 100 days for the ligaments and tendons to heal, and after half a month of injury, adhesions may reappear in the nerves, tendons, and fascia. Six weeks after the injury, bone callus has only begun to form. Since the child is in the golden period of physical growth and development, it is recommended to enhance nutrition. After one year of the injury, the internal fixation can be removed. At eight weeks, crutches should be used for movement, gradually increasing the activity level to prevent adhesions in the nerves and tendons, as well as the compensatory expansion of muscles.
