Make sure your dentist knows that you have a new Shoulder replacement. If he does not know about this topic, please show this to him. He may give you a temporary crown for now.

Just make sure he knows about the precautions and I am sure you will be fine.

Best Wishes,
Arun

Walking alters childrens gait and muscle development, and consequently bone adaptation.

(Not trying to sound like an ad) If you are concerned, you should consult with a specialist pediatric orthopaedist.

Is casting the norm? Although I’ve read that no intervention is necessary typically when does it become something an orthopedic specialist will based on falling and pain when wearing shoes?

Since the wrist is such an important joint, please follow the recommendations of a good doctor. You don’t want to take shortcuts and affect your chances for a full recovery.

I had an x ray after I fell and injured my left wrist, the result was that I got an “intra articular distal radius fructure, with displaced fragments” The x ray evaluation also mentions that the “joints are not subluxed”
What does this mean for me?
2 days after the injury I experience some improvement because I can move the wrist to some extent
Do I still need to have a cast/plasta to be placed.

A quick update.
I spoke to the Nurse Practitioner in the Pediatric Service and she was incredulous that anyone would recommend surgery. She said in the 14 years she has worked at Mass General, we have done 1 surgery for femoral anteversion, and that was “a horrible horrible case.”

Rest assured; and make an appointment, and put your mind at ease.
Arun

He wore it at bedtime only ( he was like 6 ) and I swear maybe about 8 months a year and half he was cured. I always wonder if that dr now patented my dads idea and is making tons off of his invention that really cured a patient, my brother is 28 now and is an accomplished surfer, motocross racer and also a scientist for a pharmaceutical company. I remember he didn’t like it at first but then grew attached to it .. Kind of like I had neck gear with my braces worn only at night thank god at age 11 that would have made my social life hell at school having to wear one All day. But yeah I believe u can train your body to do whatever u want with patience and determination. I know everything will be fine very rare do
U see adults with this, but the sooner to treat the higher success rate of curing. True for Pretty much everything. Good luck.
