Case Responses
Significant malrotation in lower extremities following two ORIFs for bilateral femur fractures (Case #173)

- Causation Probability: 1 / 10

- Expert Summary: I am a board certified sports medicine fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon in practice for 20 years.
- Similar Summary: 15-20 times per year I perform a scope of the shoulder hip or knee and have to make a decision to perform a possible microfracture. Sometimes it was discussed preop sometimes it was not.
