How effective is in relieving pain, the im nail removal after a tibial fibular ankle fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Might be ineffetive: Depends on where the pain currently is coming from. Frequently the tibial nail is combined with fibular plate where the fibula is broken. Check with your orthopod.
