Suggest remedy for broken stitch
Patient: hey my name is david i broke my ulna and radius bones mid-shaft and had surgery 1 week ago. They put 2 metal plates and 12 screws in my arm. I think one of my stiches broke open last night but can t tell because i m in a splint right now. It is wednesday today and my next check up is Friday. please help Doctor: Hello,  If the wounds are not wide apart, nothing much to worry and it will heal by itself. If the wounds are gaped, taping with steristrips must be required.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
