My boyfriend who is 57 was in a motorcycle accident 3 years ago and had open fractures in his upper and lower leg.. His leg is held together with titamium rods and his knee is screwed together..hes having problems with the tendons now by his hip..calcifications.. will he have further problems down the line? he is stiff everyday...
Hello, I think the problems are rising because of not having enough muscle property to be maintained. Doing a passive range of motion of the hip knee and ankle should be helpful. I will advise doing physiotherapy, and it will get him optimum results. Since there is tightness happening it's all because of the immobilizing the muscular system. Kindly have a good physiotherapist to help him out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
