Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on February 20, 2014, 05:27:57 PMIt's just a vestige of evolution. Why does the body have an appendix if it's not necessary?
MDOW is correct. The legs and arms were once very anatomically similar when the ancestors of modern humans were more monkey-like. The fibula is essentially what is left of the ulna-equivalent in the legs. It was a useful bone when our feet were used as hands to climb trees, but now that we walk bipedally, with shoes on, and since we haven't been able to rotate our feet for hundreds of thousands of years, the fibula is simply no longer necessary. This is why it has become so thin in relation to the tibia after thousands of generations.
I hope this reassures you. I can only imagine how nerve racking the last year has been for you.

Oh thaaaaaank you so much for this Explantation of the Fibula Bone!!
Its a Big Release for me.... And now i am nearly rescued....
The Last year was really very Hard for me... And now every Little step and every Little Hope that i can Walk again and that everything is normal is a Wonder for me...
I dont know if stem cell is available and legal in Germany....
The only Solution which was offered to me was phystiostim and exogen (which are Not available in Germany too!) and the forteo (in Germany called forsteo!) injections.
My doctors both never mentioned that women uses the forsteo injections after Meno Pause!?
I Never Heard of that! Hopefully there are no complications now for me getting children in the future! This is again a doctor Thing which is called "everything is Fine! You dont have to worry about!"
My next xrays will be made Dated 11.03.! I will Post them

Oh my god where is she ?
11.03 she will post again
Fibula is structurally not important but it serves as attachment to muscles/ligaments.
Can serve as source of bone graft too.
Hello everybody 
Last thursday i went to Dr. Schmidts office because Dr. Salameh was in Germandy and he wanted to see me. We made new xrays...
What do you think about the bone?
Hi FJ,
Your new X-Ray looks promising, finally there is some clouds of callus between the gaps. I am very much sure, you are going to be well and heal.
In your case, do you smoke? Smoking can be a cause for delayed/non union.
Reading your diary brings into prominence a possible risk of LL, non union, which in my opinion hasn't been vigorously discussed on LL forums.
To the LL community:
What are the causes of non union?
Are there any well documented studies or cases?
Can you prevent it?
Is there any tests that exist which can detect it?
Hello..
Your callus now is similar to mine from 3 months ago..
so what dr. Ghassan said? how many months left for you to remove the rails?
Dr. Salameh didnt give me any promission or date for removing the frame... i asked him 5 times on thursday... but he only smiled at me and said he cannot tell me... because patients who did operation AFTER me are now walking without crutches and have a better callus than me....
I do not smoke!
but... i take ibuprofen 600 (1-2 pieces) a day since operation date (23.11.2012)...
now i heard that ibuprofen do prevent callus formation... is that right?
