Hi I broke my tibia&fibula 20yrs ago in which I ended up having a metal bar inserted from the knee down the leg.This last week my right leg from the area of the fracture has been feeling bruised to touch it hurts to the top of my leg,what could this be ??
Hi, there! Your description of local manifestation lead me think about inflammation. Every metal construction can colonize bacteria and metal don't have immune response. You have to visit Your primary doctor and make blood tests to diagnose inflammation, then decide about using antibiotics. I hope this helps
