Shattered Brisbane winger Jharal Yow Yeh is facing another bout of surgery on his badly injured ankle which has not aligned correctly since a major operation in May.
Yow Yeh underwent six operations and had skin grafts and plastic surgery before leading orthopedic surgeon Dr Peter Myers finally put his right ankle back in position with a plate and nine screws.
But the 22-year-old Australian and Queensland flyer has been booked in for more surgery in a Brisbane private hospital next Tuesday.
It's understood his bone is not setting in the right position and needs to be re-aligned.
He might have to have the bone he shattered through his skin re-broken and reset.
"I don't know exactly what he has to have done but it's not minor," said Brisbane operations manager Andrew Gee on Wednesday.
Yow Yeh snapped the bone above his ankle playing against South Sydney in Perth in March.
