1st Things 1st

I feared a hip replacement.  However, I can npw put my fears back in a suitcase in the closet.

CT Report
Findings - There are fractures of the superior and inferior of the right pubic bone.  Fracture lines are seen within the body of the rt. pubic bone as well.  Callus formation is seen at both fracture sites, but these fractures don't do not yet appear completely healed.  The soft tissues are unremarkable.  The sacroiliac joints appear intact.

Impressions
Good alignment of the rt. femoral neck following hip fracture.

The screws across the fracture are in the femoral head and appear to be in a good position.

Incidental right superior and inferior pubic bone fractures with fracture lines involving the rt. body of the pubic bone as well.

There is callus formation of the pubic bone fractures as well.

There is callus formation but the fractures are not healed.  THIS COULD ACCOUNT FOR THE PATIENT'S EXCESSIVE PAIN.

Healing is taking place.  Patience and no further incidents and I should be okay.

And some good dope wouldn't hurt!
