Any opinion on my x-rays? This is about 4 days post-OP without any lengthening yet.

On my right leg, it appears the top and bottom half of the fibula are barely aligned. I have been told this is no cause of concern but would like your guys feedback.
Otherwise, I think the initial breaks are clean.
Wow, you went ahead and did it like you said! Looking forward to your diary.
Similar questions come up about the fibula now and again, and for good reason: it's freaky yet not uncommon. Here's a thread that mentioned it, and a reply saying that it's OK because the femur and tibia carry the majority of the weight. A perfectly aligned fibula isn't necessary.
I've seen x-rays similar to yours, and they turned out fine. Luckily you're getting regular x-rays to intercept any problems, as bad cases can lead to some complications.
Thanks Android for always being a helpful voice on this forum.
