Spot Fracture
Grandma was having a swollen foot for about 2 weeks. What was first thought to be sprain did not get better after a while. This was where mobile phones with camera features came in useful. Took a picture of the swollen foot (near the ankle area) and showed it to the family doctor. On his advice, she was sent to the Alexandra Hospital A&E on Christmas Eve for X-ray/assessment.
X-ray showed signs of spot fractures at two lcoation on her right foot, just before her ankle. She was then immobilised to restraint further movement and was warded for further observations, in case of complications. (Ward 10 Bed 40). What a way to celebrate Christmas Eve !!!
