Anyone know much about Orthochondritis Dessicans? My tibia is affected and ortho doc was stunned

[Mnemosyne]

that it hasn't broken, again, first time was in 2001. Also been walking around with my fibula broken at a 45 degree angle since 2001 and my talus was cracked too, clicks all the time.

I broke my ankle in 2001. Docotr missed 2 out of 3 breaks. Kept complaining to doc that ankle kept swelling and brusing over and over, for 4 yrs., 2005.

Finally a new doctor in 2005 listened and had an MRI done. What a mess.

Anyway, I have an appointment tomorrow in Pittsburgh with an ortho specialist. For the life of me cannot think of good questions to ask him. There is a surgery that should help.

Can anyone help me with good questions to ask this doctor? I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks!

1. Bummer!

I did a search and MayoClinic has a good article explaining it, causes, complications, possible treatments, etc. They also had a list of questions to ask the doctor. I tried to copy the URL for you but computer balked. That result was close to the top. MedicineNet also had a link, they are a good source.

2. Competence is not a strong suite at that hospital. I'll check those sites again, thanks. nt
