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.
Wow!! You take care of yourself and hopefully you have some cold liquids to keep you out of pain.
