Anyone having had fibula free flap reconstruction after a mandiblectomy having mild pain in the lower leg of the donor leg? I have noticed sensitivity in the ankle when crossing my legs and also pain in the upper leg behind the leg. I think I read someone’s comment about their ankle joint instability and their orthopedic surgeon recommended surgery to stabilize the joint by attaching the remaining bone to the tibia with screws. My ENT surgeon promised me that the scar tissue would hold everything in place 🙄 I’m seeking others experience one way or the other. This started after six weeks in a walking boot and three - four weeks after getting out of the boot. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
