Did they plate your fib or leave it to heal on its own? Plate and six screws to hold the fibula together and a screw through my fibula into the tibia to stop it dislocating again before the ligament healed and the ankle was stable again. I had that removed five weeks ago. Ah right, syndesmosis injury. Luckily when I broke my tib and fib even though it was dislocated I didn't damage that ligament.

But, how many consistently injury prone players have we placed our faith in over the last few years?! You tell us Matt? Off the top of my head, the only player who had major injury problems before he signed and who you could've labelled "injury prone" was Affellay. I appreciate that there may be concerns about Powell and though we have had our share of injury problems over the past few years are we really any different to other clubs when it comes to signing players who've had injuries in the past? If you want us to sign only players who've barely had injuries in their careers then we'd be fishing in a very small pool.

As much as I am gutted for him and his own professional ambitions, I do feel that Ryan represents one symptom of the problems within Stoke. First - I love the commitment and the leadership he has bestowed the club. But, how many consistently injury prone players have we placed our faith in over the last few years?! Each time a player like this gets injured it drastically disrupts first team plans and further, whilst Ryan still performs to a high level, it takes a good few games for him to get back to it. It really is time to either move on fully from these players or just relegate their importance to the team. Ryan can’t be on a small wage relative to the average championship defender, surely we could be using that money more wisely with another defender who can regularly compete for much of a season. In the space of one unchallenged tackle, we have gone from being solid at the back and hoping to get rid of BMI, to now having no real plan on how to reshuffle. What do you suggest they do? Stop paying him because he's just had the weirdest flukiest accident we've seen for a long time? Jesus wept.

Great news for the club and Ryan if the Sentinel report is accurate.
Get well soon Ryan.

Before I broke mine I thought all broken ankles were the same. Apparently I was quite thorough according to the consultant! Hope Ryan’s is more straightforward!

Same he's in the tunnel broken he'd be in the ambulance and straight off to hospital. Confirmed horrific ankle break so good job you don't work in the medical industry. So not only are you an arse you know fuck all too by the look of it.

I did a lot of reading up on ankle injuries at the time, as you have plenty of time on your hands! Initially they thought it was a syndesmosis injury too so I was very pleased to hear it wasn't when I had the scan because as you say it can cause lots of issues and put you out of action for 6 months.

Great to hear he could be back within 6 months.
God's speed Ryan.

He’s played over 400 games in his career, I’m not sure who you’re comparing him to but he’s not consistently injury prone.

Ryan is indestructible, he'll be back before Christmas and lead us back to the promised land😉. Good news that it's not as serious a prognosis as some on here were speculating!!

I presume from the video his leg broke pretty much immediately, which probably 'protected' him from worse injury, if his ankle had dislocated first he could still have enough friction/studs in ground from the ankle to break his leg
It sounds like great news that it's 'just' a broken leg and hopefully he'll be back in early 2020

Bojan for one is also a player who can easily fit that, as was Muniesa; both with great potential, but both with concerns over long term fitness. But, how many consistently injury prone players have we placed our faith in over the last few years?! You tell us Matt?

Sounds a lot more positive than I'd anticipated.
I'm just shocked that the Oatcake MD lot got it wrong, as did people who's "mate is a physio" and people who had seen someone who knows something in Tesco.

I thought our insider / amateur Dr Kildare on here heard different from the hospital. Duff information??
A broken fibula (under the circumstance) is pretty good news all things considered. It could have been much worse. Interesting to hear some stories of those on here who’ve done similar. I broke both my tib and fib playing football and my tib was pinned with an external fixator, whilst my fib was just lined up and allowed to heal naturally and knit together. I think difficulties arise when then break is close to the ankle joint, but hopefully he’s back this season at some point.

Anyone worth their salt could see it wasn't that bad by how loud the scream was! "Jones addressed the situation in an interview with BBC Radio Stoke's Lee Blakeman this evening. The Stoke City manager said: "It's not as bad as first thought which is the one positive to come out of it. He had his operation yesterday, the medical staff were excellent. "It isn't as bad as first thought so God willing everything goes well, no complications, and we will see him sooner rather than later."

Let's be clear, while it's good that it's not as bad as feared, it's still a horrible injury that not only prevents you playing football but also has a major, major impact on your everyday life. Crutches, casts, can't drive, can't wash or shower easily, can't even make a cup of tea (how do you carry it on two crutches?). And endless other things that you will never have given a second thought to, until it happens.
Mentally the complete loss of independence - even if you have people around to help you, as I'm sure Ryan will - can be awful. Of course different people are impacted in different ways, but it being 'less serious than feared' should not be a reason to play down how awful such injuries actually are.

Denis Smith is in the Guinness book of records as the most injured footballer of all time. Broke his leg four times. “Good old days”, ay?

Never have I felt more depressed in my life than sitting in a chair by the shower, twice daily, with just my leg under the water as I scrubbed the holes where each of the 6 fixator pins went in to my broken leg with a soft toothbrush to stop my skin sticking to the metal. Grim stuff and it seems like it would never end.
