Fractured Distal Fibula
My wife turned her ankle last Saturday and snapped her fibula near the ankle. OUCH! We went to the Orthopedic Surgeon this morning who recommended, based on Paula's skin sensativity, that he pin the bone back in place. They put a new splint on her leg and sent her on her way.
X-Ray, you can see the bone broken away on the left side at the bottom of the fibula--the long skinny bone in the leg.
Not so good camera phone picture of the bruising that we saw after the splint was removed today.
