    @angel smith,

    What was the reason that this injury was not treated for 8 years and what is the problem now that treatment is being sought.

    I need to know this before we could proceed?

    Plus, please write your problems in detail so as to enable me to provide you with relevant info

    @angel smith,

    I need information to wok on to reach at any conclusion which I cannot with what you have provided.

    Have you seen a physician? What was the diagnosis made?
    What are your limitations of daily activities as of now?

    Have you been xrayed? When was the last xray done? Could you mail me at the contact address.

    What is range of motion of your joints of elbow and knee ( It seems that you have injury in both)

    How old are you and what is your profession?

    Dear Dr. Arun,

    i had a similar intercondylar humerus fracture in my left arm in march 2009. i had an operation and now m undergoing physiotherapy for more than seven months. the range of movement has increased but still painful and not full.

    there are plates and screws inside still. my surgeon says we can remove those in march-april.

    now m worried if it will become good or not. will things improve with removal of plates and screws?
    will it be alright and how much more time will it take?
    please tell.

    Thanks a lot
    regards,
    Apoorva

    @Apoorva,

    Please discuss these things with your treating doctor. He knows the best about removal of implants and any improvement that can be expected.

    You may also seek another opinion by visiting a doctor in person with your record.
