Hi i had an accident 18 months ago. I ended up with a Bimallor fracture and dislocation of my right ankle. I had ORIF sugery and started of non weight baring in a boot, then a short cast and then a boot to start with weight baring. When i was out of cast my ankle did not move at all. I had an hour and a half physio every week that consisted of soft tissue massage and group class with wobble boards etc. After 7 months there was no more improvement leaving me with 8 degrees dorsiflexion and 15 degrees planflexion and i cant remember degrees but limited inversion and eversion. I was referred back to ankle specialist who gave me a steroid injection. This helped with pain for 2 weeks. My consultant said this confirms a problem in joint. As for pain i am still having around the ankle he suspected i was reacting to the metalwork. He suggested removal of metalwork and a mri scan needed. After 10 months of physio i was discharged as still no more improvement. I saw the consultant in may who xrayed my ankle to book removal of metal. Unfortunately he could still see the fracture line and suspects it has not united. He sent me for a ct scan instead and told me he will need to reset ankle and do two or 3 ops at a time. I will see him to find out what he plans to do in a few weeks. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem and what he may do. I have been told ill have some sort of perminant damage but not told to what extent. Im really concerned as my mobility is really effected. Any advice to settle the nerves will be grateful as i prefer knowing then not :)
Complications after complication any advice?
