Should I go for surgery?

[Kahrnut]

tell him to get you a bone growth stimulator to help with the healing

My wife has one of those!

Go to Dr. Hammesfarh in East Cobb for a 2nd opinion. Him and Dr. Weil have been around the block more times combined than anyone around. They have cut on myself and family members with great results. He will shoot you straight if you can fix it with time/rehab or needs to be operated on.

Excuse me, and not to incinerate the OP, but why would you go to a shooting/hunting/outdoors forum for advice on a medical question involving surgery?

Do you go to the AMA website for advice on building your AR??

Second, or even third, medical/surgical opinions are always wise.

Because there are a lot of free thinking people here, also there are a lot of people here who I KNOW are senior to me and have a hell of a lot more life experience than I do.

And why wouldn't this forum be a good place to ask? Most of the time a Tibial Plateau Fracture is caused by a high impact lifestyle which would perfectly coincide with an outdoor forum.

Remember a surgeon only makes money if he cuts, mine has been wanting to cut on me for 3 years but I keep getting better everyday.......No cuts unless it's last resort........

If you would have let him cut on you 3 years ago you would have healed by now

Do you have a source for this? That is concerning.

Definitely get a second opinion.

I feel for financial reasons many doctors are cut happy. Had one tell me 35 years ago if he didn't do surgery on my knee I would always have trouble walking. (After a slipped patella) did not have the surgery, have walked and at times ran 28 miles a week just fine. YMMV.
