Tattoofreak, will the fracture affect the growth plate? He still has a little growing to do.

Re: My 15 Y/o Son Had a Tib/fib Fracture
I did ask that and thank God, it will not. He will be 16 in May and his growth plate is just about done growing. They did apply 2 screws above where the growth plate is. I am still trying to figure out how to copy the images from the disk that they gave me with the newest set of x-rays. Thanks for asking! :)

Re: My 15 Y/o Son Had a Tib/fib Fracture
I'm glad he's gonna be ok. Just think, not that long ago, they wouldn't have had the technology to have done that type of work on him. People in the past would have had to put his ankle between two boards, wrap a bunch of cloth strips around them to keep the ankle steady and hope for the best. |
