Here it is in all it's gory glory. My ankle after a Distal Tibia Fracture. This is the ER x-ray about 3-4 hours after the event. My toes are pointed to the left as you look at the photo, so the fracture is on the front of the leg. Yay. For clarification- it's the dark streak on the left. The gap on the right is perfectly normal between the Tibia and Fibula.
You can see that there is no bone displacement (whew!) and its about as clean and simple as they come.
That my friends is Fracky McFractureface.
The plan is two screws into the bone to fix the fragment in place. That will ensure that it doesn't move and I can start PT a lot sooner to rebuild strength for when I can put weight on it again.
