What Do These Following X-ray Findings Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 20 Jul 2016

Question: I am traveling in Italy and broke my foot. I'm not sure I got the appropriate treatment at the public hospital in Pisa. They put me in a cast and want to make that it is really necessary since I am having great difficulty using the crutches. I have electronic copies of the X-rays and want a second opinion from an orthopedist.
