My son's broken ankle was not diagnosed for 5 months now he needs surgery! How common is that? The Doctor said I can't believe I missed that and I was thinking the same thing? Can we trust this doctor now? I am very nervous that you would not see a chip and a big gaping hole in the joint?
Hi there!
It would be difficult to comment on the situation or suggest something without knowing the relevant clinical details or a detailed clinical evaluation. If physiotherapy post an initial period of rest has not been successful, you may consider a re-evaluation by your treating orthopedician for appropriate management.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
