Medical Conditions - Femur Fracture

A femur fracture sometimes referred to as a broken thighbone, is a painful and dangerous injury. One of the most robust bones of the body, the femur, is frequently broken or fractured due to significant trauma, such as that received in a car accident. Severe pain, swelling, discomfort, physical deformity, and frequent inability to walk are signs of a femur fracture. Setting and immobilizing the leg are common forms of treatment for femur fractures, and in more severe situations, surgery may be necessary to promote adequate recovery.

Why does the patient with a right bone femur fracture have pus discharge after the operation?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the attached reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), I can see that surgical intervention will not be possible as the patient is bedridden. The reason for persistent discharge of pus is an infection of the bone.
