9/21/04 I passed out from having the flu. My blood pressure was 60/35. I thought I sprained my ankle but exray the following morning showed spiral fracture. I had it operated on 9/23/04 and had a plate with 5 screws. I have had the case off since the end of October and still cannot walk properly. Ankle swells and I am in pain constantly. New exray shows that there is a piece of bone on the inside of my ankle. Doctor says he is not going to take it out so I'm going to another doctor. Hope your luck is better than mine.
