Right leg fracture
Hi Sir/Madam,
My son right leg fractured on 22 July and plaster was applied on 24 July. Doctor removed the plaster on 23 august. After removal of plaster he is still not putting weight on leg and standing. He is denying to stand and walk. I checked with the same doctor he said it has healed and will walk. We are worried a lot.

Need to asses recent x ray post POP removal to get idea regarding fracture union. After, removal of pop, due to prolonged immobilisation, initial walking and joint movements would be painful. Gradually limb would free up.Take help of physiotherapist.
