trimalleolar equivalent fracture
The ankle joint is a rather complex joint which is actually two joints in one.  The ankle joint proper is made by ligamentous connections which connect the distal tibia and distal fibula to the talus near the patient’s heel.  Another joint is called the syndesmotic joint and is the connection between the tibia and fibula.  A strong ligament is located between the two bones so that the lower leg can have some stability.

Complex ankle fractures can happen after a motor vehicle accident or serious fall.  These include bimalleolar and trimalleolar fractures of the ankle.

A TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit is small portable battery operated device with electrodes to attach to the skin in the area where the source of pain is located. The unit sends an electrical signal to relieve pain.

Before your doctor orders your TENS unit or you sign an agreement to purchase one, find out what you would be paying for it. I have seen instances in which a provider has charged a patient an exuberant amount for a TENS unit ($650.00) that you could purchase yourself on line directly from a medical equipment supplier for under $100.00.
