I broke a leg about 4 1/2 yrs ago, and had cellulitus as a result of the Dr pounding a metal rod in and screwing the leg together. He even woke me up during surgery and told me there was a risk of infection. Is it life threatening? YES! It kept me in the hospital for an added 9 days for treatment, and a nurse gave me copied pages, (and hi-lited sentences), from a book telling the possible results - which included death.
