MBA,Left tiba plato, and Knee
Well were do i start, i had a MBA in 2003, nearly lost the leg, had many operations to try and fix it, like Ilizorfo frame put on due to nonunion,after 11months because srews and plates, were rejected. So the frame went on from thi to ankel, for 6 months, then slowly removed. Then needed to be rotated back into knee joint, with them breaking my fibla as well,now i have a 15 degree bend outward. only 75 degree bend. still can't walk or fully waitbare on my leg, its been almost 3years since it happen, To many operations to name them all:(. Now we are looking at TKR because i have not much carilage left in knee and servere pain, bones have now unighted but theres dead bone there aswell, I am told thats ok aslong as no infection gets in there. You name it i have all the frustrations i can take. I am only 35 years old woman,DO I GO AHEAD WITH TKR? ANYONE THATS BEEN IN CLOSE TO THIS PLEASE HELP? I have done everything that was asked of me, to recover, i know i have come a long way since i couldn't move even a toe,and the fact that the only reason i just keept my leg is that it would of been above knee amputation also that i have age on my side they told me, and that i could go through a lots and still of operations 11 and still counting to try and fix it. Sometimes i think they should of taken it. I know that i will never be the same but all i ask for is to walk. My surgon says its up too me to decide on TKR. Please if anyone can help, as i am grasping at straws now. Thanks.
