Gangrene of Fractured Leg 11483...India
A 22 year old male met with an accident and the left lower limb was fractured. He was treated in a hospital and a rod was inserted into the fractured limb. Four months later, when the cast was removed, it was found that the fracture had not healed and gangrene had set in. An orthopedic doctor, who was at the medical camp on the 6th January 2013 where the man came for help, predicted only a 50% recovery and suggested surgery. For the next month, he was given the following combo:
NM3 Bone I + NM20 injury + NM25 Shock + NM59 Pain + SM15 Circulation + SR264 Silicea
200C + SR271 Arnica 6C + SR293 Gunpowder + SR298 Lachesis 30C + SR325 Rescue +
SR405 Ruta 6C + SR408 Secale corn…6TD for one week followed by TDS.
On his next visit to the doctor at the hospital on 7th Feb, it was found that his bone was growing and the wound healing. The doctor said that surgery was no longer required. A regular change in dressing of the wound was advised. He started walking 3-4 days after his visit.
After three days when the practitioner went to change the dressing, he found the skin was growing but there was one point from where the wound was suppurating. So NM16 Drawing was added to the above combo. The wound has now fully healed and the patient has made a complete recovery but the above remedy is still continuing at a lower dosage.
