As a doc, I would have to agree that it would be tough to prove (based on what has been offered here) that the initial injury directly caused the bone fragment and was missed at the time of X Ray. You were pain free for a year. How can you prove that some other small twist or turn of the ankle didn't do the damage? If there's not evidence of a fracture or avulsion on the initial XRay, you will have a tough time making that case.
A bit disappointed in the lawyer's comments, but not surprised. As has been said above, at some point our society is going to have to decide what is really worth suing over and what isn't. This attitude that you should just call a lawyer and throw something up against the wall to see if it sticks is going to kill our country.
I'm sorry your knee hurts, I'm sorry you had to have surgery to try and fix it. I just doubt you have much of a case to prove malpractice here.
