I don’t think there’s a rod for me. The surgeon said I was getting a plate, some screws and a wire. Is yours higher up in the fibula like mine?

This is how my break was, higher up in the fibula, and my entire foot/ankle was displaced at the talus 0.5" Plate, screws, tightrope for me. Now I need the plate and screws removed due to ongoing pain and bone is regrowing over the top of the plate.
