@krysjane Welcome to Connect. You have been through a lot and I agree, it’s a very tough recovery. The surgeon who worked on my ankle at Mayo does a lot of work with limb regeneration such as using fixators that are periodically adjusted to extend or move bone as well as bone grafts. I had a fixator screwed into my shin right after the fracture and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s painful to live with that on top of an injury.
How are you doing now with mobility and balance? Injuries change propioception and aging can complicate our abilities. that’s something I think about as I get older.
