Did you have an x-ray after your leg was set into a cast? If so, when? I was told 1 week was standard to insure the bone is still set correctly and the angles are correct etc. My daughter broke her femur and never had a post op x ray until 4 weeks later! Now we discovered that her bone has healed in the worst position and she is now having to face a new surgery to re-break and start over! She is only 2 yrs old!!! She will now require hardware in her legs and the surgery has many risks for a child her age. I am so confused, how did it come to this? This should have been a very routine proceedure and if done correctly, she would be getting it off this week. I am heartbroken.
