A member asked:
My humerus is fractured. plate is installed inside. after 4 weeks i went for checkup. i insisted on doing x ray but he told me not to do ? should i do xray just for satisfaction that it's aligned properly? after how much time i should remove my sling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any test should be done with a clear indication, let the surgical team decide when is the right time to remove the sling and repeat an X-ray.
