Is my Ankle Broken (X-Ray Included)

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi Guys.

So I was hoping someone out there has another opinion. On the picture attached, at the back of the Talus it appears to be a bit.. hanging off. The last doctor I saw said its an accessory bone yet three other doctors before him were sure its broken due to the sharp "C" shape above which isnt natural for that area.

Any ideas?

    HI Sam, 

    I am not a doctor... but I do say get a second opinion and quickly. My opinion is to get a MRI. Nothing showed up on my Xray until I had an MRI.  Don't ask.. just say you want one. One thing I've learned through all of my ups and downs of this injury is that you have to ask for what you want. If you feel its broken ask for what you need. If not satisfied get another opinion with a Orthopedic specialist. That is what it took for me.

    ?Good luck and let us know how it goes, 

    Rose
