How long should you be in a black slab after having 2 screws inserted in your femur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No specific tiume: The length of time in the "slab" depends upon the procedure performed. The length of time in the "slab" is best determined by the surgeon who inserted the screws. Different procedures will require different lengths of immobilization.
