Article Synopsis
- A 42-year-old patient developed long thoracic nerve palsy after using one axillary crutch following tibia and fibula fractures.
- The crutches were needed after surgery, but using just one caused an uneven walking pattern that put pressure on the chest.
- After 6 months without recovery, it’s highlighted that clinicians should be cautious about potential nerve damage when providing guidance on crutch use.
