Broken Leg

My husband has MDS RAEB-2 and is currently on "watch and wait" with monthly bloodwork and no medication (other than vitamins). WBC and RBC are on the low end of normal, and platelets hover at about 50-60.

He broke his leg and ankle on the weekend playing hockey. The ankle required surgery with pins/plates. I'm wondering if there is anything we should be watching out for... obvously infection would be bad, but has anyone heard of a broken bone or surgery causing problems for MDS patients?
