Assuming everything you said is correct...we can only go by that. I've broken both of my ankles...not at the same time, but years apart. BOTH times we went to the ER, got x-rayed etc. BOTH times the ankles got splinted and I was told to go home and elevate and see the ortho some days later. The 1st ankle-break, thankfully wasn't bad enough to require surgery so it was put in a cast (as I said, a few days later) and 6 wks later I was "good to go". I was younger than. Fast forward about 15 yrs another fall and this time it was bad. We were out of town, went to the local ER which did much the same as the 1st time. We went home and called our clinic and got in. Was evaluated and told I'd need surgery and would need an ortho. So I did and had surgery that required a plate and some screws. NOT a great experience!! Not knowing the circumstances of your wife and the break etc. I'm not sure that the care centers did what they could with the info they had. We all expect excellent attention when something happens to us. I'm so sorry you all had to go through that. BUT now it's behind you. IF you need more information, then speak to someone who has power (meaning an office manager and/or an administrator) NOT to discuss on a social media site.
