A member asked:
I have had a broken femur bone in my right ankle when i was a teenager. i want to know if i will ever get arthritis in that leg ?

see details: Your femur is the thigh bone and has nothing to do with your ankle. If your ankle was fractured, it is likely it involved the tibia and/or fibula. If the ankle joint itself was not involved in the fracture, the risk of arthritis is low.
