My Ankle
x-ray pre surgery on 4/7/14
Doctor anticipated 3 screws and 1 plate being used to stabilize the ankle and bone.
x-ray post surgery on 4/8/14
Doctor put in 6 screws and the plate. The large screw will come out in 6-8 weeks when the cast is removed. Followed by 3-4 weeks in a walking boot. Followed by rehab on the ankle to try and get normal movement back and remove the scare tissue. The 5 other screws and plate will stay in. The additional screws were needed because the initial x-ray did not reveal that the bone was broken in multiple places and would need that many screws.
