Btw, couldn’t doctors just use git for your medicinal record? Every change is logged and attributed and all.
nooo, that would be too easy. instead we should put tens of millions of taxpayers dollars into a closed source solution that hospitals have to pay thousands of dollars per month to use. (and it has like 12 critical vulnurabilities and the company refuses to fix them)
Only 12? Wow, so advanced.
Well it’s always in the last place you look
Orthopods stuck the tibial nail in and probably decided that the fibula didn’t need to be fixed because it doesn’t do much so they didn’t bother. The bone then healed as a malunion.
see this is why you should always keep track of your bones
God dang aliens takin our bones I tell you what
I tell you what is always read as hwat.
Unless it’s Boomhauer saying it. Then it’s “Itelyawat”
My only regret
Is that I have
Boneitis
oof ouch owie
Weirdest instance I can think of where somebody lost something important was a young woman doing a bouncy Irish stepdance on a sidewalk above a very steep embankment. Suddenly her phone flew out of her sweater pocket and she back-kicked it over the precipice.
I bet the same thing happened. Good eye.
Not actually that rare to see. Reabsorption of bone is fairly common place in non unionized fractures that don’t end up getting good blood flow. Osteoclasts will breakdown the bone fragments that don’t unionize, especially if the bone isn’t really responsible for weight bearing.
The only thing thats fake about this is a group of doctors being mystified by any of it.
Maybe it was a teaching hospital like on the tv show scrubs?

This is why it’s so important to talk to your coworkers and get organized, if those bones were unionized this never would’ve happened.
Bernie your bones, bro.

Sounds more like a teaching opportunity, which was interpreted as an ‘ah, they have no idea what is going on’ moment.
Does this bone not assist with weight bearing?
My granma had a spinal disc missing entirely. It was just gone. Must’ve broken it at some point and didn’t realize. She was mostly bedridden and moved very slowly with a walker, needed a lot of support. May she rest in peace (death unrelated to missing disc)
Wouldn’t the patient miss the support that bone provided?!
Could also be bone eating bacteria.
Or the moopsy.
Or bone eating surgeons
It’s prob boneitis
Alas, my only regret!
Clearly the most obvious answer is bone-eating bones. Dirty cannibals.
Another new fear now. Yay.
Or, when his leg was being put back together they just straight up forgot to put it in during surgery.
Looks like someone had some extra parts left laying around when they put everything back together.
Moopsy!
They could have financed at least two more seasons of lower decks, if they just released an official moopsy plushie
There is actually a licensed moopsy plush https://www.masterreplicas.com/en-us/collections/star-trek/products/star-trek-lower-desks-moopsy-plush-10inch
Yeah, but it was released quite late
Looks like the person must have lost it in accident that required installing the rod.
AI probably stole your fibula to make crappy imitation fibulas!
Or God took it to create another gender. Check mate, evangelicals!
Man, Woman, Roman?🫨
Did they take it out when they put the pins in or maybe accidentally? I guess it could be infection. Crazy.
I would assume it was pulverized in whatever accident required the pins to be installed. What’s more surprising than why it’s missing, is why they didn’t replace that section of bone with anything, while they were operating the 1st time.
Fibula does very little. While orthopods love drilling bones it probably isn’t worth fixing that part of the fibula and wasting thousands of dollars in expensive plates.
Organ harvesters? … Does your hospital engage in organ harvesting schemes of any kind?
