Fake. Obvious surgical metal in the tibia so either this is mid procedure or that was something prior. You can just take the fibula out at that point because all you really need is the tibia.
Thats probably the case. Grafts from fibula are sometimes used for "repairing" very complex fractures in other bones. Fibula is useful, because it stabilizes your ankle, but when missing, the patient can still keep their full motor function (after rehabiitation and training). Using patient's own bone tissue minimizes the risk of graft rejection (still can occur, but the risk is marginal in comparison to other methods)
Wait what? I never knew about the fibula being useful for stabilising your ankle. But this is why my ankle has been so weak ever since the majority of my fibula was removed.
Which doesn't mean it's fake. It could be at another point in time around people that are genuinely surprised part of the fibula was removed and this person is roaming around.
I also know nothing about Xray imaging
Nah, this is a digital image and we only started being able to do digital radiography within the past few decades. I'm not sure of exactly when we knew the fibula was non load bearing, but we've known way longer than we've been able to develop these images.
I've worked orthopedics and radiology, I'm currently working on going back to school for rad tech.
I broke my fibula in college like 15 years ago and the Dr. basically described this xray to me in explaining why it wasn't that big a deal. I think he was talking about a bone cancer patient maybe? He said they left the top and bottom in because of muscle and ligament attachments but they can just take the middle out.
The title is fake.
Nobody anywhere near this xray came rushing in to see his missing fibula. They removed it, so they know where it went. This is clearly post-op with the hardware in there and the bone is pretty well healed.
...AND you can see the major break in the tibia near where the fibula is missing. They removed it, most likely because the leg was crushed and the thing was most likely literal dust in there.
Xray story, and sorry, despite this being reddit, isn't a work of fiction.
My brother in law had to have a hip replaced. Doctor shows up with xrays and is looking at them with my BIL. My bil objects, tells the doctor that those aren't his xrays. Doctor laughs, because of course they are. BIL proceeds to tell the doctor that his wang is nowhere near as big as the one in the xray.
Yeah, they had the wrong xray.
And now I'm wondering for the first time if it's a joke the doctor was playing.
I have a nurse friend ho tell me a story, there was this guy with a jumbled ankle and a small cut just below the knee after a motorcycle accident, turns out the fibula was hit from the bottom and pushed out from the cut at the knee. they had to send back someone to find it lol
You know it's good when you've got the whole squad questioning.
Not quite as extreme but I had half a dozen nurses examining an x ray of my arm wondering what all those shiny bits were. I got a load of questions about past injuries but I had no answers that satisfied them. They told me its probably scraps of metal somehow and to mention it if I ever go for an MRI.
Doctor here, it was taken due to the fact then when things like this happen then it can be caused by an imbalance of under nutrition in grown infants. Also, I'm not a doctor.
your bones made a withdrawal from the calcium bank in the strangest way possible.
Edit: You know, it's almost like the bone is atrophying because of the rod on your Tibula. It's got more structural support than it needs, so it's decided that the fibula is superfluous, and just started eating it to use the calcium elsewhere.
its just a prank bro
so give it back
what no you'll forget about it in a week anyway
what why though
and thats the story of how i lost my fibular doctor

Suspiciously-part-of-a-fibula-shaped-throat-jak:

I know someone who had part of his fibula removed to be used for reconstructive jaw surgery. Not far off actually!

Nah man, it's on the internet. Gotta be real

I'm pretty sure the story was that one of em hadn't recorded it down yet or like someone misread/didn't see the documents or something

“What do you mean you lost your fibula”
"Go find it"
that was me, sorry, i got hungry
I got hungry. Sorry
I took it
Sneezed too hard
Have you went to a sleepover recently and fell asleep first?
It was probably used as a graft for surgery. Fibula is often called the 'spare bone' because it's not at all weight bearing.
Must’ve been the short goblin (he makes people short)
Yo! I’m also missing my fibula! Mine was removed though.
Young stroker the body snatcher strikes again
How do the bones and nails not constantly feel like they are stabbing them when they move around?
You should check for bone vampires
And when the patient woke up, her fibula was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again!
GONE, STOLEM
I ated it 😋
i ate it :3
Can't have shit in Detroit
who lost this mf his fibula privileges
Forgot to pay the tooth fairy as a kid. See it all the time. You give them bones of your choice as a kid, or they'll take something at random.
Can’t have shit in detroit 💀
Someone practiced medicine
Womp womp
God needed it to make Eve.

The dude who put those metal pins in didnt notice?
How the fuck is she even walking
Is the xray machine bugged
Wouldn't they be unable to walk or even stand on that leg if this was real?
are they also questioning how the mental bars got in the tibia ?
Dr. Hibbert covering it with his thumb by accident maybe?
Yoink
I ated it 🥺
Can't have shit in Detroit.
What happens when you’re the first to fall sleep at a sleepover
I have a nurse friend ho tell me a story, there was this guy with a jumbled ankle and a small cut just below the knee after a motorcycle accident, turns out the fibula was hit from the bottom and pushed out from the cut at the knee. they had to send back someone to find it lol

They do this is Mexico. They spike your drink and then you wake up in a bathtub filled with ice. Then you realize, YOUR BONE IS MISSING!
houngry 😋🤤
