While proper medication and a good diet are essential for recovery from bone TB, surgery may be necessary in some cases, especially if the infection has caused significant damage or complications. It's crucial to follow the advice of your doctor and a healthcare professional, who can assess the specific situation and determine the best course of treatment for your brother.

I have a bimalleolar fracture in my lower right leg and my surgery is scheduled in two weeks is it safe to wait that long? Also, I've noticed bruising near my knee on my calf, which seems pretty far from the ankle fracture. Should I be worried about that?

A repeat x ray is advised prior to the surgery to check any fractures and soft tissue swelling.
