On an unknown date, the patient experienced ANKLE FRACTURE (Broken ankle) (seriousness criterion medically significant), UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION (Upper respiratory infection), BRONCHITIS (Bronchitis), ARTHROPATHY (Knee concerns), MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDER (Musculoskeletal disorder) and SINUSITIS (Sinus Infection). At the time of the report, TIBIA FRACTURE (Broke right tibia), ANKLE FRACTURE (Broke right ankle), UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION (Upper respiratory infection), BRONCHITIS (Bronchitis), ARTHROPATHY (Knee concerns), MALAISE (Patient experienced ill) and IMPAIRED HEALING (Case not healing well) outcome was unknown, ANKLE FRACTURE (Broken ankle) had not resolved, MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDER (Musculoskeletal disorder) was resolving and SINUSITIS (Sinus Infection) had resolved.
