Hello, 

I am postop ORIF for bilateral malleous fx, tib/fib fx April 26, 2018. Nearing 8 weeks postop and still nonweight bearing using a knee roller and crutches. 

My issue is sudden development of edema proximal of tib/ fib. Painful and edematous. Could I have caused an injury by overuse of knee roller??  I’m very active but have been as close as possible to being compliant. 

Please help
