Molly's X-Rays

Here are copies of Molly's X-Rays before and after surgery. Quite a difference! Sorry if this is too much info for some of you out there, but we thought many of you would appreciate seeing the transformation.

Here is the before X-Ray (you can click on the picture to make it bigger):


Here is an X-Ray with the rods (you can click on the picture to make it bigger):


Dr. Esposito, the surgeon, broke her right femur (pictured on your left) in 3 places and the Tibia in one. He broke her left femur in two places and broke both the Tibia in two places and Fibula in one (shin bones). In hindsight, Dr. Esposito wishes that he had broken the Fibula on the right leg as well. You can see that it is bowing and will pull on the rod a bit. He said it was not worth going back in to correct. The rods in her Tibias will probably only last 12-18 months, so whatever he didn't correct this time he will the next go around. It is certainly worlds better than it was before surgery.

We will be going on for follow-up X-Rays locally in less than 2 weeks to see how she is healing.
