The possible reasons why the leg is still swollen after 70 days of tibiofibular fracture are not fully recovered, too early or too much activity, poor blood circulation and soft tissue adhesion.
1. Not fully recovered: Tibiofibular fracture 70 days leg is still swollen, may be due to the reconstruction of some of the surrounding small blood vessels and circulatory system, has not yet been fully recovered, so this period of time will be swollen.
2. Too early or too much activity: too early or too much activity may lead to poor healing and further swelling that does not subside.
3. Poor blood circulation: Generally after tibiofibular fracture, external immobilization in plaster is needed. It is possible that the plaster fixation is too tight, resulting in poor local blood circulation, leading to leg swelling.
4. Soft tissue adhesion: Because the tibial fibula fracture needs external fixation or surgical internal fixation, the lower limb has not been effective exercise and activities, coupled with muscle damage and bleeding, it is easy to occur muscle soft tissue adhesion. After 70 days of fracture, sudden activity may cause adhesion and swelling of the leg.
There may be other reasons for leg swelling 70 days after a tibiofibular fracture, including varicose veins and venous embolism. It is recommended to go to the regular hospital for timely consultation, complete the relevant examinations, clarify the cause of the disease, and then carry out targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
