Hello, thank you for the response. How likely is it that I am looking at a broken bone in that picture? I really wish I could read anMRI. Also, in this image, am I looking at a fracture in the tibia or fibula (or a fracture at all)? It looks to me to be in the position of the tibia but I cannot expect a clean break in my tibia like that according to my intuition and feeling (I have pain along my tibia but I cannot feel a clean break).
Here is a history:
29/07/2007 Inversion Sprain while kicking a football - landed incorrectly. Hospital emergency department performs an XRay and finds no break.
01/01/2008 Complain to doctor about ongoing pain in right ankle and lack of ROM (dorsiflexion specifically).
29/01/2008 MRI reveals no abnormality.
11/05/2008 Muscle atrophy and deformity cause me to discontinue playing sport - specifically squash (I was training 1-2 hours per day up until now)
15/09/2008 Broestrom Repair + medial ligament repair performed under GA
15/10/2008 Ouch! There is now significantly higher pain and less ROM.
20/10/2008 MRI reveals no abnormality. However, the images do not go very high above the malleolus.
01/12/2008 Anaesthetic + Cortico-steroid injection with ultrasonic guidance. Pain eases temporarily.
11/12/2008 Arthroscopic Debridement of joint performed under GA. Large lesion removed.
29/12/2008 I can now notice very localised pain from fibula and tibia. Holy crap I can move my fibula! Image of fibula and tibia.
13/01/2009 MRI performed.
Today I cannot walk without a splint. My ankle is totally "the wrong shape" - even if I do walk only a small part of the underside can contact the ground. I often walk on my toes in my right leg. I can move my fibula at the at the top dot in this picture. The bottom dot also has irregularity and pain.
