Debbie,
That is so interesting that you broke the same ankle bone in the same place just 11 years apart. What are the odds of that happening? Did your practitioner have any thing to say about this fishy coincidence?
It make me wonder if your original fracture never fully knitted in a strong and tight manner-- and being so compromised it was susceptible to a future fracture. And yes, if you have osteoporosis that would be a contributing factor too.

in my case the original break probably never fully healed. the cast was removed too soon, i was given the plastic boot but was painful and unconfortable.
i also had ligament surgery so couldn't exercise the joint.
the new break is worse and will take longer to heal. but now i'm in the proper full leg plaster so the foot is very stable.
