I have a pin in my ankle. I was in car accident in my 20s. Before I had surgery to put in the pin, I had a cast on my leg for a long while. My ankle did not heal correctly, which required surgery long after the accident. They didn't think I needed a pin originally, but after it did not heal correctly, the doctor decided to insert the pin.
The ideal thing is for Scott to get medical treatment ASAP, but if it does not heal correctly, he can get corrective surgery later, but, of course, it is better to get it fixed now, if at all possible.
Prayers going out to Scott Frost that he receives treatment and heals back to normal soon.
