Talk to Orthopedic Surgeon on Thigh Bone Broken
Asking for Father, Male, 60 years old, Abbottabad
Please tag to an orthopedic surgeon.. My father age 60 had femur shaft fracture in Dec 2019 about 6 months ago where thigh bone has been broken in a angled line as shown in initial attached x ray. Dr. Implanted a rod with support in knee. In first 2 months he suffered from anxiety, but now he just feel uncomfortable in knee when he walk fastly or go up stairs. Now I attached today's x report could you please tell me the stage of healing process? Today one orthopedic surgeon advised that rod need to remove after couple of weeks because this rod is Biger than the usual used for these surgeries. But the surgeon who implanted gave us time period of one year to remove the rod. .should we go for rod removal? rod. I am attaching prescription and x ray in comments.

Please share Xray of the hip and knee joint! 6 months is early for removal
The nail is bending and the fracture line is visible,it is better to use cruthes while walking and wait for another six months
it's retrograde femur nailing. not a very poor procedure as it can damage knee articular cartilage. the nail is bent and as it seems there is shining callus which is going into consolidation. if weight bearing is painful then use a zimmer frame otherwise no issue. remove the nail after 1 year post op
can visit my clinic whenever convenient. abbottabad is not very far from Rawalpindi
Do not go for full weight bearing..use crutches for walk or just do 50% of weight bearing..as it's not healed yet.
This is retrograde nail and is done by opening up knee joint... So the distal part sometimes create problem with knee... Its realy to rem9ve the naip, so please avaoid stressea on knee..avoid stairs and squatting postures... Keep in touch with surgeon to get it removed early as the union is achieved fully
rod should be removed after 12 to 18 months ,dont remove it before,size is adequate,thanks
