I broke my left Clavicle about four years ago and had surgery almost straight away due to it being out the skin, they didn't put a plate on it they put some kind of ring through it? I wasn't sure, anyway weeks later during physio therapy it snapped again.. I then got a titanium plate with screws put In, I found the plate to be very uncomfortable for the first couple of years and literally had to pull the skin over the edge of the plate sometimes.. (gross eh). I'm not lying in bed having broken my right collar bone now, I had surgery 7 days ago now, and they put a plate in. I am extremely nervous this time around and don't even want to sit up out of bed sometimes worrying some kind of movement will break it, breaking your arm is so much easier as you can be a lot more mobile. I did find this video has helped my understanding more and I shall subscribe to your channel! Cheers

Dr. David Geier My boyfriend shattered both of his legs in a crash over a year ago and he had a total of 23 screws and I believe two plates put in the heal his bones. The nurses told him it was a miracle the doctor didn’t just amputate his legs due to the crazy amount of damage. His right leg is nearly healed but his left leg where his shin is there is a space in the bone. Is there any reason for that and will that heal? And the screws on his right leg are on his foot and he wants to know if they can be taken out to alleviate his pain of walking on them

What is the Minimum time of rest for tibia surgery to heal

I’ve broke my ankle about 1 month and a half ago getting hit by a car on the pedestrian crossing,I’ve had my surgery that contains 3 screws and one plate...and now I’ve just started walking in my walking boot,this being my second day.Unexpectedly breaking this 2 bones I’ve realised who are my real friends,what’s really going on in the hospitals and how to appreciate your life even more and who to let in or which to be kicked out.I can only say this sucks as this happened so young,I’m only 18,and at this point I should of been starting many stuff but I put them on pause,but I’m keeping positive and whoever is going through any kind of pain right now,it’s going to get better,never give up,trust the time and trust yourself because if you not going to get yourself a good recovery,no one will do it for you.ITS GOING TO BE FINE,YOUR SCARS ARE SHOWING HOW STRONG YOU ARE,NEVER BE ASHMED OF THEM.And if you can,try hesitate it as much as you can.Stay strong.

On May 5th this year I had a total ankle dislocation with a trimalleolar break including my fibula and tibula. I missed a step on the deck! The surgical team initially reduced it and 5 days later I had surgery. I have 2 plates and a lot of screws. They did an excellent job so thanks to our NHS. I wore a hard cast for 10 days and then an aircast boot for 7 weeks which I took off when sleeping. I now attend physio once a week and I am just learning to walk with one crutch which will hopefully progress to none by mid August. It so important to do exercises with your foot even when resting. Taking painkillers is also important because it hurts!! I was always active but I'm older and I'm realistic about recovery. I hope this time next year I will have good functional use of my ankle and will be able to enjoy walking and cycling again.

I have brittle bone disease, my bones break easy, I've broke 100's of bones. I have screws, plates in both ankles, artificial knees, plates and screws in my knees, rods in my femur and tib/fib both legs, fake hips, plates and screws in hip, and 2 rods in my spine and 80 screws. I've had the rods replaced in my femure and tib/fib replaced dozens of times! still awesome to think about how medicine has evolved.

Salute to you

I am so glad I found this channel. Been in hospital/rehab for 6 weeks after breaking both bones in my leg and the ankle. I'm 73 and I have an excellent surgeon. Your explanation of why plates and screws are used has calmed my apprehension. Just the fact that you say this hardware in my leg does not mean I will suffer with on going pain is reassuring. I have been so fortunate not to have suffered ANY pain with the exception of one night after I was transfered from the hospital to rehab. Thank you!

I just had a distal radius fracture and completely broken scaphoid, 1 screw through scaphoid and 2 in radius with a plate. Your video is very educational and made me feel a little bit better about what's happened!!

I am 11 days post surgery, i had plates and screws put in the right radius. I had a colles or “dinner fork fracture”. Duke Sports Medicine surgeons addressed it. So far so good. I will have more information later.

I have plates and screws in my hip. Four months after surgery and Dr released me and I can resume normal activity. I feel great and walk so much better now.

I fell and broke the olecranon process of the elbow and the radial head, 5 weeks ago. Dr. had to operate and stabilize the olecranon with plate and screws. He didn’t have to pin the radial head because it was stabilized. This KZread was very informative thank you.

Oh my gosh, I just ran across this video as I had a TPF and had one plate, six screws and a cadaver bone graft. This happened in Nov 2021, falling off a ladder, I was 68 yrs then. I was nearly 12 weeks NWB and was in PT for 5 months. It was a very long, emotional, painful injury. There is not enough on the internet about this horrific injury. I am blessed to be able to walk again thanks to my ortho surgeon Dr. Pomponi. I am still limited to certain things, like kneeling and squatting. The doctor says he'll remove the hardware if I choose to. Right now, I'm pretty much pain free...except when I bump the little piece of the plate protruding. He said eventually I'll need a TKR but probably not for some years yet. My quads and glutes never did come back 100%. For anyone reading this who has or had a TPF, there are a few support groups on FB to help get through this. Anyway, just wanted to mention my situation and thank you and all Ortho surgeons for giving us back our life❤

I fell and shattered my humourus 5months ago. I had an operation and have plate and 6 screws. I am having lots of Physio and slowly learning to use my arm. My shoulder and arm are painful, but I am so thankful I was able to have this operation as living forever with a smashed bone would have been even more painful.

I'm a victim of an assault and battery where my attacker broke my jawbone, I currently have plates and screws holding it together as it heals. I can't wait to get better.

I did. In 97, I broke my left ankle in three places by catching my foot in my mother’s seatbelt in her old grand marquis sedan. I tripped and fell and that’s when I broke my left foot. Two days before Christmas. The doctor used one plate and two screws to put everything back in place and to this day, I might set off a metal detector here and there.

I broke two bones in my ankle 13th Dec 2021. Drs called it a Bimalleolar fracture. I had ORIF done with plates and screws...only the first 2 days after surgery I had pain...it doesn't hurt now. Dr said the plates and screws will be left in me for life.

How many days after surgery does it take to get back to normal

I broke my ankle on both sides 6 months ago and had surgery with a plate and screws on both sides. I went back to my gym classes about 4 months later. One night I noticed outside ankle bone was pointy. I went to hospital and X-ray next morning - screw had come adrift. Second operation 1st September. Just found out 6 weeks later at Fracture Clinic that they had done a bone graft and removed all metal. However, I was so shocked to see new X-ray which showed much bigger plate and more screws in ankle. Nobody told me and Inhave been so stressed at seeing all this metal in my ankle for a second time! I’m normally a fit person attending my gym classes 3 times a week for past 10 years! I feel Ill never get back to how I was - all because I slipped whilst walking my dogs back on Good Friday!

Doing some at home therapy during the day helps...i was able to put my foot down and take few small steps today...it feels great to walk once again...keep ur foot elevated while on the cast and never put any weight on it or try to walk with it avoid sugar and salt alcohol or drugs beef pork. Eat lots of veggies drink lots of water. Fight anguish pain frustration or boredom try to keep ur mind occupied reading writing or learning a new hobby.

I broke my right ankle five years ago very badly both bones so I got to do the surgery with plates and screws. So to those who might afraid of it, it will be all fine and helpful. For me it was not possible to have the ankle back to normal again without the surgery. The only part that still bothered me while walking after the surgery and physiotherapy were screws on the left side which I could feel them from my skin, but after removing them (9 month later) no more problem.

I had a trimalleolar fracture 3 weeks ago from falling while ice skating. I had surgery to stabilize the bones and a plate with 12 screws and pins were placed. I'm in a hard cast now for the next month. Getting a lot of numbing, shocking, lancing, burning sensations on the side with the plate and the top of the foot. Not sure if it's the plate itself pressing against the bone and cast or the surgical incisions pressing on the cast itself along with cutaneous nerve damage. It's difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep..so just trying to think positive. How is your healing process going??

I got an ankle fracture due to fall from our stairs 2 months ago and I had undergone surgery last month. It took 2-3 weeks before I got my surgery to wait to reduce the swelling. I got a spiral fracture on my Lateral Right complete oblique displaced lateral malleolus and it was fixed with screws and plates, I also got my medial portion opened as well to get my ruptured deltoid repaired and also got screws to further support my medial bone. I got an excellent Surgeon.☺I'm on my 4th week post surgery and just got my cast removed last Monday and my doctor advised me that I could practice walking and stepping my toes of course with the support of crutches. I'm on Calcium (with VitD) Medication as well for stronger bones... and also, on my 3rd week post surgery, I was advised as well to practice massaging/rehab my foot inward outward motion only so my muscles stretch little by little.

Hows your recovery been?

I've fractured both wrists and had plates and screws implanted. A little over a month ago I ruptured a tendon in my thumb. When surgery was done to repair the tendon the hardware from the wrist fracture was removed. My orthopedist is really good and spent time talking to me about it, but I was shocked at first when he mentioned the possibility of removing the plate and screws because I truly didn't understand that they were there to support healing. It just never occured to me that they could be removed. I never had a problem with my plates/screws and had no idea that occasionally the hardware can contribute to tendon wear.

Had plates but in last week Tuesday, I'm just trying to find out if plates will make the bones heal faster.

Great explanation. I managed to slip on a slope at home whilst feeding Kangeroos at home. In hindsight, perhaps wearing flipflops wasn't the best footwear to wear on a 40° slope covered with dead grass and I twisted my foot as I slipped. I ended up with a spiral fracture in my Fibia and two small fractures in my Tibia and add to that I got a syndesmosis injury too. The Tibia has basically been left to heal as they were only small, however the Fibia had open reduction and a plate with 12 screws holding it all together. The surgeon was going to do a "tightrope" but decided on two long screws to hold it all together. (Don't know why he changed his mind) Two weeks later it doesn't feel too bad, however I am sick of the moon boot I have to wear. I have been told non-weight baring until Christmas, however I have started to wiggle my foot to keep the blood flowing and I have ordered some resistance bands to get some strength back very gently. I wonder if I will bee at the airport metal detectors?

I appreciate your video and the simple explanation with multiple x-ray images to show examples. My story is this: I broke my left 5th metatarsal midshaft on 7/24/17 when I landed on the front left side of my foot in an adult beginner jazz class. "Acute minimally displaced oblique diaphyseal fracture of the fifth metatarsal." I was given compression bandages and the orthopedic shoe and told to limit activity to low impact. On subsequent visit 8/10/17 I was told that the fracture had displaced somewhat since the first visit, but there were no means to correct it (e.g., physical therapy), other than surgery to install a plate and screws. I was given the option to have the surgery now, or allow the bone to continue to mend and see how much it bothers me down the road, with surgery remaining an option for the future. I opted against surgery at this time and got the air cast and a knee cart. I will return on 8/31/17 to see what progress I have made.

In a very similar position. Motorcyle accident as well. Good luck. That's me 3 months in, but movement still overall not brilliant. Getting there. (Distal radius fracture, pretty bad, requiring plates and screws as a result of a motorcycle, (non-fault!) accident)

2 weeks ago a had a plate and screws added to one of my forearms and until now I can't seem to move my arm in a turn-the-key motion 🥲 I can feel the bone turning of bone 🥲 but now I'm so glad that I found this channel because I don't feel alone, I can recover and watch this channel 😅

I broke my left forearm it was a displaced fracture and as I'm a teenager the doctor tried to get the bones properly aligned but because of my growing stages the bone couldn't be joined in a proper position so I had to undergo ORIF to get plates and screws now it's a month for the plates and screws in my hand .But Dr I I wanna know if the plates can be removed after the bone is joined and the soft callus gets hard if not why but I was also informed that it may be removed after a year but even after the bone heals so what is the reason for this

Dr. Thank your for these informative videos. I just had a pretty bad femur fracture and definitely plan on checking out more! I’m sure I will have questions as my healing process continues. I am just two days out right now so still working with my ortho! Thanks -Belinda -33 -Cross country ski accident

The video was very helpful answer some of my questions

I spiral fractured my right fibula skateboarding and they put in a long plate with 6 screws as well as a syndesmosis double tightrope to give me stability in my ankle. None of the equipment they put in bothers me at all. I’m very grateful they were able to do such a good job and get me back on the board relatively quickly.

How are you now?

I think even complete bone fractures could be externally glued together using the same resin dentists use to rebuild teeth. The amount of force placed on rebuilt teeth is enormous and I think the same resin could stabilize bone long enough to heal. You couldn't apply it inside bones because you'd be inviting infection - but it might work externally. This is something that could be experimented upon in a lab.

Watched your video. Advantageous for me as I'm suffering with ankle fracture in 3 bones; surgery by plates and screws. Your statement is well true that main cause for healing is our body itself.

I had a car accident four years ago and my right ankle was broken multiple times. I had two surgeries. My Doctor was high qualified bone surgeon and he fixed my ankle put screw and plates in it . I didn't know that I had lost my bones so when I heard that after a while I had been crying for days. I had experienced so much pain all the time especially when the nurse was removimg my stitches. I was on the wheel chair for 18 months . I am fine now but sometimes when I'm walking or doing gym it's hurts and plates are not removable so I feel weird but what can I do. I am very thankful for this that I have my foot because my doctor said you very lucky that your surgery was successful. I am thankful for my foot. it's been long time that I had car accident but when ever I am crossing the road I am still not comfortable. For you I have a question that what are some consequences are might be if I have never remove my plates and screws?

Thank you! There was a lot comfort (all positive and down to earth terminology) on this video. Yup, got my T-plate two days ago.

I had a spiral fracture to my rt tib.. Had surgery where my doc inserted a rod down the length of the bone and 4 screws near my ankle where the bone split. I am 9 weeks post op and just went to partial weight bearing with full weight and PT beginning at 12 weeks. So far, so good. I do have considerable stiffness in my ankle that ive begun to work through with resistance bands but otherwise everything feels fine. Perhaps the biggest challenge I've faced so far is anxiety from wondering if everything will be "right" at some point and I can do all the things I did before the accident. I'm a very active person and the inactivity has been tough.

10 months only 2 screws close to my knee, its still swollen and i cant jump off of it any tips to help with this?

I had a very bad motorcycle accident that resulted in multiple broken bones in my shoulder. This was in 2006 and required 6 plates and 20 screws to put me all together again. They were supposed to be permanent but after a year they were unscrewing and causing more damage. Most of my metal was removed at that point with the last plate and 5 screws removed 5 years later when I had my total shoulder replacement. The pain that the metal caused was a deep throbbing that became worse with changes in the weather, like arthritis. When the last of the metal came out of my collarbone, the relief of pain was incredible. Now I have broken my ankle pretty badly and the surgeon put in a titanium plate and 6 screws. I can already feel the deep pain of the metal. The surgical pain is one thing but this pain is different. I am thinking I may need the metal removed in a couple of years even if it doesn't try to remove itself. Do others experience this or am I just metal sensitive?

Excellent job 👏👍 very informative 👏 Thanks 😊

I broke my leg. Specifically my knee cap or meniscus. It got essentially pulverized or shattered. The doctor put a metal plate along my tibia with around like 7 screws drilled in to the tibia. I have a daily crackle and I can’t run or do much hard impact exercises like jogging but it beats the hell out of having no leg. I have had pelvic or hip misalignment since. He did tell me you won’t be back to normal ever but it was a reconstructive surgery to help me live a better life. I was 27 when I broke it. Now I am 32 and have to take painkillers to get by the day. Dr. Tenny saved my leg and I would have not had it any other way. I just have to keep on pushing and keep my weight at a normal level to avoid more stress on it. I just wish I had Insurance when it happened so that I could have afforded physical therapy after the surgery. Love your informative video explaining the reason doctors use plates and screws. It just made me more at ease after years of thinking it was a mistake.

It's still numb on one side and the knee in general & calf is fatter than my other leg by an inch but I think this what to expect to be left with.

I broke my arm and my thumb about five years ago. I got a 12 inch screw in my arm that's still in and a rig on my thumb that came out. Both my arm and thumb are hurting during certain weather changes/stress after about five years now. I did limited rehab. Can you suggest anything now I can do to improve the pain and trauma experienced with this situation? Thanks for the great videos.

Around two years ago, I was in a very serious accident and have had multiple surgeries since then with the insertion of plates and screws. It has been two years now and I am still having difficulty in all areas to really manage the pain that plates and screws have around the muscles and ligaments within my body. If there is a way to manage that pain with using full range of motion; fore arm (radius and ulna close fracture) and right leg (femur, hip and knee joint) that would help change everything. I have tried and tried having appointments with my surgeon, hand therapists, pain management people and councillors to be able to handle the pain that it causes. What else would you recommend?

4 weeks post op. Bone deformity since birth/bowleg. The older I got the more my leg protruded outwards, uncomfortable but never painful until I tore my meniscus in two places on the same leg. I suffered for about 8 months. I moved forward with the correction along with the meniscus repair to eliminate sciatica on the opposite side from being over worked . The correction is hopefully going to give me back the 3 mm length to align my hips.

I mess with an bike. accident on 26 Aug ,broking my radius,ulna and 4 th metacarpal all are of left hand and doctor decided to put two plate each on radius and ulna having 6 screws in each plate,and putting metal wire in metacarpal and put cast, after 3days my all pain goes and my doctor told me that their is no restrictions on motion, do motion that is allowed by cast only.
