A member asked:
I had surgery 2/17/15 on my ankle. the surgeon also removed my cartilage. i got a second opinion and they said i have a floating bone. is it bad?

Mgt: The ankle imaging studies will provide more information regarding severity. I would suggest having more discussions or a second opinion by an Orthopedic specialist. Physical therapy is part of the management after ankle injuries and can be useful in your recovery.
