Photo Gallery : Page 7 : X-Rays

This page doesn't have a lot to do with photography, but it seems the most appropriate spot to put a few scans of my right leg that was badly broken many years ago.  Of most interest is the pin that is in it and can be easily seen in the x-rays.  The large, spiral fractures can also be seen clearly in both bones.

It took several hours at Manly Hospital for the operation which was very much a success.

Following the operation I spent about 4 months on crutches (there was never a cast on the leg) and then 2 months of physiotherapy basically learning to walk again with that leg.

The scans of the X-rays were done on an EPSON Expression 1640XL scanner at 720 dpi for most and 1200dpi for one of them.
