BAR. Perched and seems to be using leg pretty well. Very jumpy and condo is filthy. Splint needs changing.
About 25 g LO(R)

Anesthetized with iso via mask. There is a slight medial bow to the leg. The hock joint is stiff but has pretty good ROM. I thought I felt some instability but then I didn't later. The rad show a large gap at fx and the fx is compressed a bit so there is a large spike from the distal end on the lateral side that is slipped up prox to the joint. Doesn't look great. Replaced padded splint with foam shoe and lateral sidebar.

MOVED TO: R35A

Prognosis is not great. Not sure how mobile the joint will be when this is all healed.
