Mum ‘snapped off’ her foot while trampolining after shattering all bones in ankle

The Mirror says: A mum nearly had to have her foot amputated after her foot “snapped off” while she was trampolining.

Victoria McDonald, 34, was bouncing between trampolines at an indoor centre in York with her son, sister and nephew when she felt a “slight twinge” in her right ankle.

She looked down and discovered her ankle was hanging off her leg – attached by just the skin – because she’d shattered all the bones in the joint, Yorkshire Live reports.

Medics discovered she’d torn every ligament, ripped every tendon and broken three bones in her ankle – leading to surgeons advising amputation from the ankle down.

But her foot was saved after doctors “sucked out” the bone fragments, with torn tendons and ligaments sewn back into place and pins inserted to reattach the bones.
