see this is why you should always keep track of your bones
My only regret
Is that I have
Boneitis
oof ouch owie
Did they take it out when they put the pins in or maybe accidentally? I guess it could be infection. Crazy.
Organ harvesters? … Does your hospital engage in organ harvesting schemes of any kind?
They don’t need that part of the bone anyway.
/S
Looks like the person must have lost it in accident that required installing the rod.
Screws are not supposed to stick out of the bone either right?
I had a similar thing done and just looked at my pics of my xrays (was too poor at the time to get copies). None of mine stick out except maybe the head of one of the screws a little.
It sucks that they charge for copies. I’m in the USA and when I hurt my foot and got X-rays they just made me wait while they burned a CD.
Yeah, here in Japan it seems to be included (or at least extremely cheap). The US is a mess (having grown up there and worked in the healthcare industry there).
You would think, I have a similar intramedullary rod in my leg, and my screws also stick out. Since the screws are there to hold the rod down the inside of the bone in place, they care more about that stability than the screws being a bit long.
I’ve been told that now that I’m healed, if the hardware is giving me problems, I can have them go in and remove it. Unfortunately, being in the US, that would probably be another 15-20 grand to have done (basically as much as I paid to have it put in when my leg was broken). So at least for now, even though I do have some hardware-related pain, it’s not bad enough for me to justify the cost.

Fucking hell. I told my doctors that the titanium in my arm was interfering with my rock climbing and weight lifting and they took it out. I think I paid some token fee.
In Europe, obviously
I’m wondering if it ai generated. The text at the top doesn’t look normal
Always have been. But don’t worry: this is Lemmy, where the points don’t matter.
If I remember right this screenshot has been around for a while
Oh, I know what this is. OP, you just need to select a different floor.
Well it’s always in the last place you look
AI probably stole your fibula to make crappy imitation fibulas!
Or God took it to create another gender. Check mate, evangelicals!
Man, Woman, Roman?🫨
Looks like someone had some extra parts left laying around when they put everything back together.
Btw, couldn’t doctors just use git for your medicinal record?
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
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”

Fibula does very little. While orthopods love drilling bones it probably isn’t worth fixing that part of the fibula and wasting thousands of dollars in expensive plates.
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.
