Anyway, I have a complex foot fracture that pretty much always has crap outcomes even when spotted straight away - and mine wasn't spotted for 9+ weeks so the chance of a decent outcome is now pretty much zero. Consultant decided to hold off on surgery and give it 12 months before reassessing. Took about 5 months to be able to walk on it unaided but my weight distribution on it is bad (part of what the physio is addressing) and it aches constantly when I'm on my feet. Likely to have significant arthritis in the joint within 10 years even with surgery - and the only surgical option is permanent plates/fusion of the joint and bone graft.
Didn't you catch it on video?

Jeremy Beadle would have given you £250 for that footage.
