about a month past i had busted my fibula, and suposedly my tibia, near my ankle when i was skateboarding. when it happened i had talked to 4 doctors, 3 of which said i had only busted my fibula and all i would need was a cast, but the last digit said i had busted my shin aswell, and my tibula would need screws in it so it could heal properly. so i got scheduled for surgurey and the period of the surgury, the surgen had decided to do surgury on the fibula (weird). well i today have 5 or 6 screws aswell as a bag in my fibula (the smaller digit on the outside if im correct) and im trying to decide what to do. should i get the bag removed of keep it in? i feature somewhere that when the screws get taken out, the holes that they left still remain, and i also feature that if i leave the bag and screws in, it is more likely to re-break. i am planning on continuing to skateboard, but im not sure what the better option is. PLEASE HELP ME!

You requirement to see a good orthopedist. That said, the bone will fill in from where the screws were so if you get them removed, you will hit to be careful until they finish healing. The bag isn't going to make you more likely to break your handicap either.
