Went to the doctor's office yesterday for an x-ray and for him to look at my ankle. When I looked at the x-ray I was confused by two long screws holding my tibia (shin bone) together. When I asked the doctor about it he explained that to gain access to my talus (ankle bone) for the bone graft, he had to saw off the end of my shin bone.

Break one bone to fix another? How is this going to help me?
