The patient fell approximately 10 feet off his liner, landing on his left foot.  There was evidence of gross deformity of the ankle.  An x-ray was performed in the Emergency Room, which revealed a grade IV Hawkins classification talus fracture.  He was distal neurovascularly intact.  The patient denied any other complaints besides pain in the ankle. It was for this reason, we elected to undergo the  procedure in order to reduce and restore the blood supply to the talus body.  Because of its tenuous blood supply, the patient is at risk for avascular necrosis.  The patient has agreed to undergo the above-named procedure and consent was obtained.  All risks as well as complications were discussed.

Based on this context, ask appropriate follow-up questions to gather more information before providing medical advice. Use the questioning patterns that doctors typically employ.

assistant: Good evening, and welcome to A B C D General Hospital E D.

user: Thank you, Doctor, I've really messed up this ankle.

assistant: Before we begin, how old are you? And which gender do you identify?

user: Thank you for asking, Doctor, I'm a fifty year old man.

assistant: Thank you, what happened?

user: I fell off my liner, and I landed right onto my left foot.

assistant: How far did you fall?

user: Um, it was really about ten feet.

assistant: Oh, yes, I see. I have some good news for you, there's no gross deformity in this ankle.

user: What does that mean, exactly?

assistant: I don't see any ankle dislocation, which is good.

user: Oh, that's good news.

assistant: Have you had your x rays taken yet?

user: Yeah, the tech just brought me back.

assistant: Great, let me pull them up here. Okay, um, if you look here, you'll see a fracture of your talus.

user: Which bone is that?

assistant: That's your heel, to be specific, it's a grade I V Hawkins fracture of the left talus. You are still neurovascularly intact in the distal region.

user: What are we going to do about this?

assistant: Do you have any other pain from the fall, aside from the ankle?

user: No, the ankle really took all of the weight of the fall.

assistant: Okay, I think we should do surgery in order to repair this ankle.

user: Why is that?

assistant: There is very weak blood flow to the body of this bone, there's a risk for avascular necrosis, which is bone death.

user: Okay, you're right. What are the risks of this infection with this surgery?

assistant: Overall, the risks of infection are less than one percent. We'll use antibiotics to keep everything clean.

user: Will I be asleep for this?

assistant: Yes, you'll be under anesthesia.

user: Okay, yes, um, I'd like to go forward with the surgery.
