Default Any Orthopedic Surgeons in the house?

I'm wondering if there are any Ortho-surgeons amongst the CP community.

I'm hoping to ask about one injury in a opposite leg, impacting or injuring the uninjured, healthy leg.

I have found a few reports suggesting it is possible, but wanted to pick the brain of someone in the know.

If there are any, if you could PM me, that would be awesome.

Thanks!

Not really an orthopedist per se; however, I am an enthusiast/hobbyist and I am board certified, so just post your question.

I'm not an orthopedic surgeon either, but I am an enthusiastic amateur and I do have a vise and an eclectic range of vintage tools.

Cool. I was looking for some tools. Where is the orthopedic surgeon district again?

Not sure why you need a surgeon to answer your question.

Can you be more specific?

Generally speaking, yes it is possible to injure one leg as a result of compensating for an injury to the other leg. In fact, an injury to your leg can mess up the whole kinetic chain (including hip, back, etc). Not sure what the specifics are in your case though.

PS I'm not a doctor, let alone an orthopaedic specialist.

I hurt my knee once then the other knee started to hurt after I limped around for a few days. Science.

You should seek the advice of a professional medical practitioner.

Yes, it's possible - have had it happen to a few clients, and the cause was diagnosed by a specialist. But I am not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn EXPRESS (you left the "express" out).

You should not see the advice of a personal injury lawyer over the Internet.

In my world anything is possible and it WAS due to the car accident.

Can't you go to the base hospital or MIR?
