Talk to Orthopedic Surgeon on Knee Fracture
Asking for Brother, Male, 18 years old, Lahore
Patient had a knee fracture almost 4 months ago. But because of his exams approaching and his father's death followed by a liver transplant, a terrible mistake of no proper treatment was made. He was simply treated with traction and the patient can not straighten his leg now. Attached is the radio graph of his knee at the time of fracture. Just let me know if it can be treated?

If he has pain and difficulty in walking,
Than he needs surgery.
However the best result is not guarnteed as 4 months have been past.
Also he will develop early osteoarthritic changes in his joint

First we need to see if the fracture is healed or not.
you should not waste one more day. come to clinic. get some scans and then plan for further treatment can be made.
The bony part may be relatively simple to treat with surgery. It will need a CT scan first. The bigger problem may be the untreated ligaments and meniscal injuries. I am sorry to say that the delay in treatment has made treatment very complex and results unclear. It needs proper evaluation. Because he is young and have a lifetime in front so surgical treatment to anatomically fix the malunited fracture may be the only good option.
