So, is this looking good or what? Not so good at all. It has been six months and she is still in a good amount of pain - and now we can see why. One of the screws is bent, another is working its way out. The "dusted" fibula has pointy ends. Ignore the bright white spot in the middle image, that's the camera flash.
She'll need another surgery for sure, those two straight screws have got to go. I think the bent one will be ok, it isn't doing any harm and it can't work its way out.
She sees the surgeon Wednesday afternoon, so we'll know more then.
Her knees look great, as does mine, so that's something to be thankful for. This series of x-rays was taken by the knee surgeon, just so he could see what happened. He thinks she'll be referred to an ankle specialist and says there is a very good one here in Boston, so maybe she'll be able to get this taken care of in September. Fingers crossed.
