Bob Monkhouse Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 Coool photies. Mine was very similiar. Six in the fib plate for me (three at top, three at bottom) with the bottom one being a geet long un locking the joint up. The long ones on the outside look interesting though. Does that mean that lumpy bit was snapped off ? (phew getting a bit quesy now thinking about that) Quote
Spook Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Posted November 8, 2005 I dunno, don't think I want to. Was only this evening that I started thinkin hang on that's in my leg, and then yeah I started feelin queesy aswell Quote

Offshore Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 How did you actually do it Spook? Sorry if I missed the thread! Quote

Fat Bloke Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 when can I have my meccano back ??? ;-) Quote
raptor Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 Not bad, just wished i'd got copies of my arm when i broke it in the early 90's. 12 screws two plates, 4 wires. two 1" gaps filled with bone graft thats after using two external fixators. Arm rotation severly limited so could be classed as disabled. the xrays look more impressive than the description. anyone know how to obtain old xrays Quote
abbe89 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 ow! looks painful! is it just me or are there screws just randomly floating about in Russ' leg?? Quote
Adrena1in Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 I was thinking that too Abbe!! I thought, "but those two long screws aren't attached to any plates! What, did they just have some spares to get rid of?!", but I guess that part of the ankle just didn't require a plate...they just put those two screws straight into the bone...right into the marrow. Yum!! Nice one Russ...looks far more interesting on the X-Ray that in the pub last night though! Quote
adrenmike Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 soz to here your news russ. but on the bright side snappin your ankle is better than smashing it!!!! Quote
Bushy99 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 mmmmm, number 8 woodsrews by the looks of it. Hope he used the torque setting on his cordless drill/driver, don't want them spinning around coz you've overtightened. Got some down the shed if you need any:D Tough break. speedy recovery mate. And in the words of Capt Lance Murdoch (simpsons) "chicks lovew scars":) Quote
