Femur and knee fracture of left leg
Hello,
I encountered a bike accident on 13th Jul 2023, and my left femur and knee were broken in multiple places. After the ORIF surgery, I followed the process of checkups and PT and almost made full recovery and started full weight bearing, until Jun 2024, when after swelling above my left knee it was discovered that the titanium implant on my femur broke. The causes were stated as non union of the femur, but the previous xray followups never indicated as such. What should be my next steps? How can I achieve full recovery? Please guide.
