Cost of leg fracture treatment

The cost of treatment for leg fractures is not exactly the same for different conditions and cannot be generalized. Leg fractures, including calf and thigh fractures. If it is a calf, which is a tibiofibular fracture, it usually costs about $40,000 to $50,000 if each bone is plated. If the fracture of the lower leg is conservative treatment, such as the fracture is not serious, displacement is not obvious, this time to give external fixation of plaster or brace external fixation, generally is one or two thousand dollars, may solve the problem. If the thigh fracture is a bone fracture, the fracture is not displaced, you can also fix it with a brace or cast or traction, usually two to three thousand dollars. If the fracture is a comminuted fracture, the fracture displacement is more obvious, also need to fix the plate or intramedullary nail fixation, generally need 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. So, the cost is different for different cases of leg fractures. If the more serious comminuted fracture, at the same time, combined with soft tissue damage or even osteomyelitis, the cost will be very high, it may be 50,000 or 60,000, or even 100,000 or several hundred thousand dollars. The cost of a leg fracture cannot be generalized because if the soft tissue defect is particularly large, there is also a need for a flap at a later stage, external fixation and repeated implants.
