back of the pack · 04-04-2008, 06:15 PM

Ouch!

I wish your wife the best of luck with her recovery. I can certainly relate and sympathize as I too had a commuted displaced tibial plateau fx. Most, including myself have never heard of this type of injury until they or someone they know has it. Pain, lots of pain.
Special thanks go out to my friends at Over The Bars Mountain Bike Club for all the encouragement and camaraderie.

Have a great weekend!

Chopper · 04-04-2008, 06:27 PM

Piranha, I hope you will understand if I don't share that story with her right now.
Glad you made back!

I wouldn't suggest it either and I completely understand. Did she have to have a bone graft like me?

Yes, there was some space in the tibia that had to filled so she did recieve a bone graft. The doc said the donor was a Tour de France winner.
TdF winner or not, he's still dead, right?

slowrabbit · 04-04-2008, 10:53 PM

Get Well soon. Ouch! Thats a serious Ouch!

mottmcfly · 04-05-2008, 12:20 AM

Best wishes for a speedy and minimal pain recovery.

DBD · 04-05-2008, 05:50 AM

Here is to a fast recovery

Perhaps if the docs would have wrapped the plate a bit more around the front she would have no need for shin guards anymore

holy cr@p. that's alot of hardware. Hope u bought some stock in home depot before the surgery. Injury or wear/tear?

j/k all my best to Jane for speedy and FULL recovery!

dwrads · 04-07-2008, 11:35 AM

Chopper, I have an x-ray that looks very similar to your wifes. That was 12 years ago. I was back on a wind trainer in 8 weeks, Weight bearing soon after that. Carefull MTBing at 4 months. Running a 50 mile races at a couple years. Everybody's circumstances are different of course, but I recovered well from mine.

Things to remember during the next months.
1-Ice is her friend, I had and still have a circulating ice machine, you can borrow it if needed.
2-Be careful with crutches, a wheelchair is safer.
3-Excersise the other leg.
4-It can feel hopeless but it will get better, it just takes time.
5-The airport sensors won't go off.

Give her my regards, and let her know it'll get better.
Let me know if you need the ice machine.
