Hi Robert (@robertjr), I hope your ankle gets better soon. My wife had the same thing happen to her right foot. When we looked at the xray after the surgery it looked like hardware store parts. She had a plate and 7 screws.

Do you just have the neuropathy in the foot with the broken ankle? If it's only in that foot it may be a damaged or severed nerve which can cause neuropathy. The National Institutes of Health has an article that explains it:

Peroneal Neuropathy after Tibio-Fibular Fracture

Hi Robert, I'm not sure anyone can answer if it might happen again. Has your doctor suggested any specific treatments or physical therapy to help you?
