Question 8

recently broke my femur. had surgery. wondering if when you break a bone, does blood or bone marrow pour into that surrounding area? for example- leg.

Accepted Answer

Internal bleeding...: can be very significant with a broken bone. This is a primary reason for "reducing" (realigning) and splinting a fracture. Surgery may be needed if the break can't otherwise be stabilized. A broken femur, in particular, can cause massive bleeding into the thigh. Days later the blood may show up as purple, green, or yellow bruises on the skin. Spilled marrow is less of a problem.

Question 10

what is the recovery time after an osteochondroma surgery on the femur and what are the complication with bending the knee?

Accepted Answer

Varies: It varies somewhat based upon the size of the osteochondroma, and so how much of the femur has to be resected.  For at least 6-12 weeks there will typically be an increased risk of fracture secondary to the stress riser that uccues at the site of bone resection.
