Any one ever have an open tib/fib fracture with major ankle damage? If so can you tell me what to expect?

Hey Don

Try this website, and you'll be in good company. 3/4 of the people on that site have your injury. I've been going to that site for 3 yrs since my son broke his femur. There's a discussion board, and if you post this same question, you should get alot of replies back.

Don, i had the same injury but from wrestling, i broke both the bones as well, it took 4 months before i put any weight on my right leg. then i was in a boot for 3 and finally able to take it off. I hope the healing process is going better for you, but you can except to go through lots of physical therapy and have swelling and pain for a long time. It has been 4 years since it happened and as i am typing this to you my ankle is in pain, i think it is because i rushed back onto the field right when my doctor said it was alright. You should listen to your doctor and not put any weight on it even though it is very tempting. You can not rush the healing process and make sure you make every therapy appointment.

Good Luck

you would be able to desire to get to the Dr. asap for an xray. it particularly is the only thank you to recognize for constructive. he will provide you a walking boot for a sprain or a forged for a fracture. Get some ice on it staggering away and save better. it could desire to be a tension fracture yet once you sustain the way you're which could actually grow to be a ruin then you definitely would be in greater hardship and take plenty longer to heal. in case you % to come again interior the interest do something now. reliable success
