i have had compression plates and screws put in both hips in november 2010 as i had 2 bilatreal stress fractures/breaks in both necks of my hips on the inside and now july 2011 my breaks havent healed and cat scan shows no bone healing at all where my breaks are despite having fixtures in place and the specialists are baffled?? has anyone else had this problem or know what i can take to try help?? i am over being in pain!!
I smashed my toe over 6 months ago and still have bone chips, but the larger problem is the crack in the big toe. Over all this time there has been no improvement. Why won't it heal?
Hello!
Even if a fracture does exist in the coccyx, it should heal all by itself. Surgical reduction is rarely used to treat coccyx fractures. Coccyx has no use as such functionally.
Coccyx injuries can take months to heal and up to a year to really feel normal again.
Coccyx repair surgery is indicated for complex fractures involving surrounding tissue damage or compound fractures where the bone might break through the skin.
Take care!
