![]() ![]() The results of the current study suggest that gender, presence of comorbidities, and payer status were all significant factors in predicting hardware removal for the tibia/fibula following ORIF. Hardware removal is a serious complication following ORIF for fractures of the tibia/fibula. Surgery was done on the 5th October 2018. Now 18months after, surgery for hardware removal was done cause it affected movement and caused pains when I walked for long. The length of stay and total charges were significantly higher for ROH compared to those with ORIF only. I had an ORIF surgery on April 9th, 2017 for the completed fractured right tibia, a long plate and 8 screws was inserted. Z47.32 Aftercare following explantation of hip joint prosthesis. Z47.31 Aftercare following explantation of shoulder joint prosthesis. Z47.3 Aftercare following explantation of joint prosthesis. Z47.2 Encounter for removal of internal fixation device. Age and race were not risk factors for ROH. Z47.1 Aftercare following joint replacement surgery. Risk factors for ROH included men and Deyo comorbidity scores of 1 and 2 or more. The most common indications for ROH were infection and osteomyelitis. Among fractures requiring ORIF, the most common were for closed fractures of both tibia and fibula. Logistic regression analyses and independent sample t-tests were used to assess risk factors and differences. We identified 1,610,149 ORIF patients, and 56,864 of these patients (3.5%) underwent ROH. We used ICD-9 codes to identify fracture locations, comorbidities, and indications for ROH. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to identify patients admitted for tibia/fibula ORIF and ROH between 19 in the United States. We examined the associations between tibia/fibula fractures and (1) characteristics of fractures requiring ORIF, (2) indications for ROH, (3) demographic risk factors for ROH (4) length of stay, and (5) total hospital charges. Currently, data evaluating the epidemiology of and risk factors for ROH of the tibia/fibula are limited. ![]() Most of us can handle a little of this, but I have arthritis over all of my body (osteo) and I have been able to continue to more regularly, but this is causing major issues with my feet, my hips, my lower back.Indications for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of tibia and/or fibula fractures vary however, some patients require removal of hardware (ROH) due to various complications. ![]() It is throwing off the rest of my body, since I'm out of alignment. When I put my feet together in a standing position, one knee MUST be in front of the other. In other words, when my knees meet, my feet do not. 5 degrees off from straight outward from my body. Internal fixation means that special hardware is used to hold the bone pieces together. Open reduction means the bones are put back in place during a surgery through an open cut (incision). It puts the pieces of a broken bone back together so they can heal. My question, however, is about the leg shape. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a type of treatment to fix a broken bone. I did my time of non-weight bearing (90 days) and am still enduring physical therapy….tough to re-awaken those muscles after they begin to atrophy. the repair was done quickly (2 days later) because it happened on my knee with a 9-mo old medial knee replacement. I had repair for a displaced tibial plateau fracture in Aug 2018….6 months ago. Really irritating! My main question is this: is this normal? Is this something I just have to live with? Do others have this same issue? ORIF surgery is necessary for a displaced (out of position) fracture of the tibia and / or fibula to stabilise and correct the injury. Most of us can handle a little of this, but I have arthritis over all of my body (osteo) and I have been able to continue to more regularly, but this is causing major issues with my feet, my hips, my lower back. ![]() My question, however, is about the leg shape. ![]()
