nooo, that would be too easy. instead we should put tens of millions of taxpayers dollars into a closed source solution that hospitals have to pay thousands of dollars per month to use. (and it has like 12 critical vulnurabilities and the company refuses to fix them)
Only 12? Wow, so advanced.
Git blame whoever put in those screws
Orthopods stuck the tibial nail in and probably decided that the fibula didn’t need to be fixed because it doesn’t do much so they didn’t bother. The bone then healed as a malunion.
Well it's always in the last place you look
Looks like someone had some extra parts left laying around when they put everything back together.
that was me, I took it. I needed it for a potion
Not actually that rare to see. Reabsorption of bone is fairly common place in non unionized fractures that don't end up getting good blood flow. Osteoclasts will breakdown the bone fragments that don't unionize, especially if the bone isn't really responsible for weight bearing.
The only thing thats fake about this is a group of doctors being mystified by any of it.
Does this bone not assist with weight bearing?
Not really during normal ambulation, it mainly aids in stability and in certain range of motions in the ankle. Even less so in post traumatic reconstructions like in this particular image.
I'm hearing that she should have joined a union?
Maybe it was a teaching hospital like on the tv show scrubs?
Nah, I practice at a teaching hospital. Knowing about reabsorption is stuff you learn when you learn about osteoclasts in med school. If you make it to a residency without knowing about osteoclasts, something horrible has happened.
Nah i mean the teaching doctor might take the opportunity to show the residents an example of it, and the patient perspective given here is totally off, but they're just guessing why a bunch of doctors are all gathered around to look at the xray.

This is why it's so important to talk to your coworkers and get organized, if those bones were unionized this never would've happened.
Bernie your bones, bro.

Sounds more like a teaching opportunity, which was interpreted as an 'ah, they have no idea what is going on' moment.
Maybe? But again, reabsorption is so commonplace that it's not particularly a significant teaching opportunity. I
f we're assuming that what this person claimed is true, the only real educational thing about this is how important it is to stick to the prescribed follow up care. This more than likely would have been caught during follow up imaging post reconstruction.
My granma had a spinal disc missing entirely. It was just gone. Must've broken it at some point and didn't realize. She was mostly bedridden and moved very slowly with a walker, needed a lot of support. May she rest in peace (death unrelated to missing disc)

God dang aliens takin our bones I tell you what
I tell you what is always read as hwat.
Unless it's Boomhauer saying it. Then it's "Itelyawat"
Looks like the person must have lost it in accident that required installing the rod.
Did they take it out when they put the pins in or maybe accidentally? I guess it could be infection. Crazy.
