Ouch - stepping on a toy. Good for you, not dropping the baby. We at one point had so many toys strewn around the floor, it was a miracle something like that didn't happen to one of us.
Yup, Anna got her plate and screws because of the location of her fractures; apparently there's not too great a blood supply on the distal ends of the tibia and fibula.
It's probably better in the long run that you didn't go for a wheelchair. Crutches are hard work, I imagine (from watching Anna!) and the less muscle you lose, the better - and the easier it is to get functioning back.
