This means being in cast for 8 weeks and a very long recovery again.
Surgeons will be taking bone fragments from a deceased person and mixing a paste to fill the fracture with and then re-insert another screw into a better position. Otherwise if the CT scan reveals definite fibrous union, I will be going under the knife again to have a bone graft. I will either be having the screw removed, to hopefully stop the nerve pain. Simply, this means that the bones have failed to mesh back together or heal fully.Īfter December 3rd I will have had my CT and my appointment for the news will be on December 18th. the consultant would like to know more clearly whether I have fibrous union. I have been referred to have a CT scan now to further investigate. Its like a major shock, then every next step you take until you sit down, you feel it over and over. thats the only way I can describe the awful heebie jeebie feeling it gives you. you can just be walking along and suddenly - it feels like ice cold water on a couple of sensitive teeth - but on a much larger scale and in your ankle. And I told them that I had still been experiencing the awful sharp pains to my nerves. I also was due to have a follow up, to see if wearing the boot had helped the pain or had even helped to heal the inner fracture. Since using the boot from September, I returned again. Not a little plastic lace up sports piece of junk for someone who has sprained their ankle or twisted it. please make sure that if you are told you do not need anything to start walking again and begin your recovery - you must insist that they give you a boot. Quick advice: if you have a triple break, if you have had surgery, if you are in cast now. Other people who had not had surgery at all were walking in and out of the fracture clinic wearing boots every week that I attended! everyone kept telling me how severe my injury was - but then I get told to just walk freely barefoot after 7 weeks in cast and a serious operation.
