Not actually that rare to see. Reabsorption of bone is fairly common place in non unionized fractures that don't end up getting good blood flow. Osteoclasts will breakdown the bone fragments that don't unionize, especially if the bone isn't really responsible for weight bearing.
The only thing thats fake about this is a group of doctors being mystified by any of it.

This is why it's so important to talk to your coworkers and get organized, if those bones were unionized this never would've happened.
Bernie your bones, bro.

Sounds more like a teaching opportunity, which was interpreted as an 'ah, they have no idea what is going on' moment.
My granma had a spinal disc missing entirely. It was just gone. Must've broken it at some point and didn't realize. She was mostly bedridden and moved very slowly with a walker, needed a lot of support. May she rest in peace (death unrelated to missing disc)
Could also be bone eating bacteria.
Or bone eating surgeons
It's prob boneitis
Alas, my only regret!
Clearly the most obvious answer is bone-eating bones. Dirty cannibals.
Or, when his leg was being put back together they just straight up forgot to put it in during surgery.
I'm hearing that she should have joined a union?
My only regret
Is that I have
Boneitis
oof ouch owie
God dang aliens takin our bones I tell you what
I tell you what is always read as hwat.
Unless it's Boomhauer saying it. Then it's "Itelyawat"
Looks like the person must have lost it in accident that required installing the rod.
Moopsy!
They could have financed at least two more seasons of lower decks, if they just released an official moopsy plushie
There is actually a licensed moopsy plush https://www.masterreplicas.com/en-us/collections/star-trek/products/star-trek-lower-desks-moopsy-plush-10inch
Did they take it out when they put the pins in or maybe accidentally? I guess it could be infection. Crazy.
Btw, couldn't doctors just use git for your medicinal record? Every change is logged and attributed and all.
nooo, that would be too easy. instead we should put tens of millions of taxpayers dollars into a closed source solution that hospitals have to pay thousands of dollars per month to use. (and it has like 12 critical vulnurabilities and the company refuses to fix them)
Only 12? Wow, so advanced.
Git blame whoever put in those screws
Orthopods stuck the tibial nail in and probably decided that the fibula didn’t need to be fixed because it doesn’t do much so they didn’t bother. The bone then healed as a malunion.
Weirdest instance I can think of where somebody lost something important was a young woman doing a bouncy Irish stepdance on a sidewalk above a very steep embankment. Suddenly her phone flew out of her sweater pocket and she back-kicked it over the precipice.
I bet the same thing happened. Good eye.
Organ harvesters? .... Does your hospital engage in organ harvesting schemes of any kind?
Screws are not supposed to stick out of the bone either right?
You would think, I have a similar intramedullary rod in my leg, and my screws also stick out. Since the screws are there to hold the rod down the inside of the bone in place, they care more about that stability than the screws being a bit long.
I've been told that now that I'm healed, if the hardware is giving me problems, I can have them go in and remove it. Unfortunately, being in the US, that would probably be another 15-20 grand to have done (basically as much as I paid to have it put in when my leg was broken). So at least for now, even though I do have some hardware-related pain, it's not bad enough for me to justify the cost.

Fucking hell. I told my doctors that the titanium in my arm was interfering with my rock climbing and weight lifting and they took it out. I think I paid some token fee.
In Europe, obviously
I had a similar thing done and just looked at my pics of my xrays (was too poor at the time to get copies). None of mine stick out except maybe the head of one of the screws a little.
AI probably stole your fibula to make crappy imitation fibulas!
Oh, I know what this is. OP, you just need to select a different floor.
They don't need that part of the bone anyway.
/S
Looks like someone had some extra parts left laying around when they put everything back together.
Well it's always in the last place you look
The forbidden car crash souvenir
Classic fibula or, as we call it, the liar's bone. Can't trust it to be there when you need it.
