Had my post op follow up this morning. Pre op, the doc had told me he was going to put a cast on it. But when I woke from surgery there was no cast.
So I asked him about that today. He told me that originally he had planned to fishscale the bone. But when he opened up my leg he could see that it was a muscular problem alone, and that the muscle was scarred, and had been injured.
So he conducted the fasciotomy, did some cauterization, (not sure why) 'tacked' the muscle back in place and sewed me up.
Its been about 10 days, and I no longer need a cane or crutches, he told me to start cycling and working out in the pool.
I am excited that the bone was not an issue, he says my chances for a full recovery are now about 85%. In six weeks I will have the right leg done.
