Well chances that Aaron will need yet another surgery to repair a torn tendon is high. His first surgery was January of '07, that one was pointless! The next one wasn't until September '07, and that one worked. The problem was, he ankle wasn't ready for work and so while at work one day his ankle gave out, and BOOM, we have a problem. His Dr is thinking that the tear started where the last one stopped, and so they are thinking that they are going to have to go back in and fix it. The tendons he tore and strained are the Peroneal tendon and Brevis tendon. With this surgery though, since they have already sewn up the Peroneal once, the chances of being able to sew it again, aren't high, so they are either going to have to transfer some tendon from another source in the ankle, which might work, but then there is a chance that when they do that it might pull the ankle to the side, which means they might have to cut and move the whole ankle over. We are hoping that they will either be able to just sew it, or transfer some. No Ankle Moving Please!
We are so ready for this ankle crap to be over with!
You can see on here where the tendons are, they have it on the picture as peroneus. I have actual pictures from his last surgery of the torn tendon, but I know SOME PEOPLE (mel) that wouldn't like to see that!
