Title: Is there a Doctor in the house? Post by: pokerfan on March 14, 2009, 04:35:37 PM My bro had his ankle snapped a couple of weeks ago and had to get it plated n pinned.
Now im no Dougie Howser but quite clearly the 4th screw up isnt where it should be. Although his Doctor says its perfectly O.K and not to worry. Thoughts please.

I guess the other 7 will hold everything tight enough in place though, so wouldn't worry about it too much...kindoff like an IKEA cupboard..if one out of 8 screws comes out your cupboard won't fall apart all of a sudden.

Hmm... Well tbh, long as it doesn't interfere with the healing and straightening of the bone there's no problem .. Ray says: the pins will be removed later anyways.

Often they don't even bother pinning the fib. |
