Broken tib-fib. plate w 11 screws 5 wks ago. wearing a boot. accidentally put pressure on it today. swelling more than usual. concerns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define "pressure...": What do you mean by "pressure?" Were you wearing the boot at the time? Was the swelling accompanied by increased pain? Post-surgical swelling is normal up to a year (sometimes more depending on the patient) I would need a bit more info to get a better picture
