Nasty injury. Comminuted (multiple pieces) open fractures to the tibia and fibula in two separate areas on the same leg
Surgical fixation of the ankle and foot as well.
That leg was mangled, he is lucky to keep it

Yeah depending how bad , artificial ankle or knee could be in his near future.Friend just blew up his knee hitting a rock with his snowmobile, he is 45 will probably see a replacement by the time he his 50.
Since they managed to put in a rod sounds like it wasn’t horrible , broken in 3-4 pieces is not as bad as 15-20 pieces , where they would have need a plate and eleventy billion screws
