Hi I broke my leg, tibia, iin two places. A plate was inserted and it healed. This was three years ago. Now it burns in the evening and I do not know why.  My other leg is fine. I did go to physio for months after. Can you tell me why does it bother me now and what shall I do.
Hello, I think that the disturbing effect that you have maybe from the implant (plate and screw). Even though the fracture is healed still there is a foreign body implant which may be a good place for infection bed when the germs might enter an organism from other sources such as throat infection, urinary infection, and so on. If your symptoms continue, and you have fever, redness of skin or even discharge from the wound then I suggest you to go to orthopedic doctor to remove it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
