Hi doctor,
I am suffering mild pain in the middle part of my right leg tibia. An MRI was done and the doctor said that I have fibrous cortical defect. I would like to know is it completely curable.

Thank you doctor,
I am sending snapshots of my x-ray and I hope it helps. Will I be able to play, run and do sport activities again? I am an active person and just a thought of not doing all these makes me tensed. Is there any side effect with the surgical or non-surgical therapy?

Thank you doctor,
I got my MRI done. Here, two doctors saw it and recommended surgery, where they will scrape out the growth and send it for biopsy. It measures 7.4 x 6.9 mm. After this thing being scraped out and after recovery from surgery will I be able to run and jump like before? Do I need bone grafting for this?

Hi doctor,
I got my leg operated with the above problem. They scooped some of my bone for biopsy and in that report nothing was detected. It was not a tumor or infection. It was some tissue growth. And, the doctor did nit warned me properly after that surgery. Also, he did not know that I am a pretty active guy and told me to go back to daily life after two weeks. So, I did and while trying to get on a divider to cross street I broke my same bone from that region. Second surgery was done for that. They inserted a nail through my tibia. It is almost 1 year and 8 months after that surgery. The doctor saw my recent x-rays and said it has healed and the nail can be removed. I just want to take some more opinions before I say yes to surgery. Please check my x-rays and tell me If it is really healed properly and nail can be removed or not. Also, will I have any side effect or complication if I remove the nail? Because with the nail, I am perfectly fine while doing running, lifting weights, jumping and dancing like before. I am attaching three x-rays.
1. Broken leg x-ray. 2. X-ray taken after six months of surgery.3. Recent x-ray after healing i.e. about 2 weeks back from now.
Please check the file name for the above order.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have seen your x-rays.
Your fracture has fully healed and it is safe to remove the nail now.
After removal of the nail, you can easily get back to your current active status which is running, jumping, etc.
Complications with removal of nail surgery include re-fracture which is rare, inability to remove the implant, breakage of implant, damage to nerve and vessels, re-operation, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, anesthetic complications, and injury to patellar tendon. But these complications are not very common.
