A Busy Period

James Purefoy has injured his left ankle filming his TV series ' The Philanthropist' in Prague.

James Calder (Foot & Ankle Surgeon) has performed an operation to stabilise the ' Syndesmosis' this is the joint formed by the malleoloii of the Tibia and Fibula and the Talus bone.

I have visited James Purefoy at his home to assist him with his early treatment; he is using a 'Gameready' icing unit to assist with his post-op swelling.

He must spend 2 weeks Non Weight Bearing, then 2 weeks Partial Weight Bearing, and can them mobilise Full Weight Bearing from then on.

James must resume filming in South Africa in 6 weeks and John Green will be accompanying him for the initial period.

Dean Ashton is now 3 weeks since his posterior ankle arthroscopy with James Calder and Niek Van Dyke to remove a bony prominence from the inside of his ankle.

Dean has now begun his rehab in earnest and will be fit for pre-season, we will be videoing Dean’s work at various stages and this will be posted on our site!

THEONEBOX ran again Friday at Wolverhampton at 7:50pm finishing out of the top 3 unfortunately.
