My ankle surgery conducted on the 9th Jan, 2009. This followed 6 weeks of crutches after trying to climb a pole at a mall after it had just rained.

  • How long did you have the screws in before they decided to remove them ? I have 6 screws and a plate in my ankle from a bimalleolar fx from 8 months ago - still a lot of pain and stiffness and need a cane. Not sure I want to go thru more surgery -might be less stable w./o the screws but still in some pain. Does yours feel better after removal ? Thx

  • @doogleandalix Wow looks like you had a serious injury there... mine was minor and I had the screw for 6-8 weeks, after which I had to use crutches for another 6 weeks. After that I was completely fine and I'm doing gymnastics now, which places a lot of stress on the ankle.

    I really hope your foot gets better soon, and if it heals enough you should eventually be able to remove the plating :)

  • hey was wondering am geting my screw removed frm my ankle in 2 weeks would i b able to walk after they remove it let me no plz thx glad u doin better

  • @1infamouz hey i think u'll be able to walk afterwards. cos it's healed and u shud b able to walk. maybe for a few days after the surgery u'll have to be on crutches so the cut can heal properly without pressure to it. although im not too sure cos i dont remember it to well!

see all

  • i have to go in for a screw removal and i think pins they put in my ankle.. do they put you to sleep like the surgery or do they just numb the foot and  go to work while your awake?

  • ugh i have a rod and 10 screws in my ankle and i had to have reconstructive surgery on it. Broke in 4 places and it was dislocated n it was almost an open fracture. Mines permanent it cant be takin out

  • Glad you are feeling better. I'm getting my screws out hopefully this Thursday. I'm also wondering if I can walk afterward as there will be holes in the bone. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

  • Fucking OUCH!!!!!!

  • thx bro fo the advise hope u doing better now ?
