Fractured fibula

I was happy to read that everyone did so well with the spiral fibula fracture. Two weeks ago and broke my tibia (which ended up being rodded) and broke the head of the fibula and have a spiral fracture of the fibula from the boot cuff to the ankle. The spiral fracture is the only thing that is keeping me from being weight bearing for a total of 6 weeks. I am encouraged to hear that the recovery for the spiral fracture went so well!
Sadly, no more skiing this season, I doubt that there will be enough snow left in 10 weeks for me to ski once I am 'healed'

Reign, welcome to J2ski. Your injury reads as pretty nasty, what happened to you? :shock: Never give up on the snow gods to put in a late show, though in your case by the time you've had some re-hab, it might be better to wait until next winter.

Thanks for the welcome!
I was skiing in VT and got a pole caught in my tele leash (between leash & boot) and while extricating, of course, planted my other pole between my skis, it was a spectacular tumble (under the lift of course)with plenty of time to contemplate how much it was going to hurt. When I landed, my knees were facing in the same direction and my skis in the opposite directions, an obvious sign of problems. The orthro at the trauma center was pretty good and I was in surgery within 7 hours of the accident, but the post-op pain has been significant. Fortunately, I am not in a cast so I am working on range of motion daily and hoping that by the time I am weight bearing I will have close to normal ROM.
I am confident that Tucks will have snow in June, just not confident that I will be ready to skin/hike it just to ski.
The bummer? Was supposed to be in Alta this week, and we've gotten 18" of lovely powder (in one dump) since I did this.
The good news: plenty of time left to train for the VT 50 Mile Mtn Bike and Run :D
