  • Fractures in the distal femur are pretty common. They will need some operation. Femur is the thigh bone (as shown). Any fracture in the distal femur has to be taken care of because that will alter the alignment if not treated properly and can cause long term problems for the patient. How long it will take to treat? It will need a surgical treatment. We generally put a plate and some screws in the area and stabilise the fracture. Fracture healing may take a minimum of 8 weeks and sometimes go up to 4 months. During this period partially the knee or limb will be functional. U may be able to bend or straighten your knee according to the type of fracture. Sometimes you may have to be kept completely immobilized because of the type of fracture you have. By the end of 3 to 4 months your fracture will have completely healed and you will be able to walk. Depending on the type of fracture and severity further recovery like getting a full movement in the knee joint or doing all the activities you were doing before it may take up to 5 to 6 months.

    Yes I had a fracture on my knee on 28th May 2020 had surgery and 11 screws and a plate were inserted....by November I was able to walk without crutches. By January was able to go back to work but with limping. Now am able to travel long distances but I never miss my daily personal exercises as I await removal of the hardware after 2yrs.

Now she got another urine culture positive. There is no evidence of symptom at surgical site. Why she is getting second infection even she got treated with antibiotics and she has unexplained fever.

    I got hit by a truck 4 years ago on a bike. Broke my femur bone on the left. Had to be taken an ambulance. It hurt so much. The worst was in the X-ray two guys one at my feet in one at my shoulders. And they go together to throw me up 4 inches onto the X-ray. I never screamed like that my life it really hurt. I was so glad when I woke up after the surgery and everything was done. I was afraid I would die

    Greetings from Kolkata, Dr Gowda! I am interested to know the thigh bone fracture (femur bone fracture as the doctor who treated me called it). I am suffering from it and doctor told me that I will never be able to climb up and down the stairs as I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment with steep stairs which is as good as 4th floor). If I cannot move from my house it would be a hell for me as I am an academic and occasionally to visit my alma mater, Calcutta University and consult the library for academic purposes. I am expecting a sharp reply from your end, hope I will get some words which will give me a new lease of life.
