Trimal fracture in Aug 2014, surgery with plates and screws to repair immediately following. In the next year my ankle basically collapsed (as described by the orthopaedic surgeon). Dealt with debilitating pain for almost a year. Had lt ankle arthrodesis in April of 2016, all f-ups went well, looked great. Had xray in Dec 2016, and there are broken screws, and the whole ankle appears to have slid inward. Had a CT scan today and will see ortho for f-u next week. My question is: What are my options? I was very upset in the office and the dr only said this doesn't necessarily mean another surgery...we could try bone stim. But he also said that everything is healed already. So how would the stim help? I don't want to be on pain management for the rest of my life...I'm only 37...and I've done everything as I was told to do, after both surgeries. The only explanation I've been offered (as to the failed results) is that it was just a really bad break. Any input?
