I suffered a broken ankle @ a tibia plateau fracture on November 7, 2018. I had 2 surgeries. The second one was a revision. It’s been 7 weeks since the second surgery. This so bad. I have severe tightness around my foot. Please help
I’m so happy to have found this forum as it’s hard to find information about TPF. Seems to be an unusual fracture.
I was hit by a bike on 9 october, 2015 and had surgery 5 days later. As I understand it my fracture wasn’t as bad as some other injuries on this forum. The condyle was fractured and I had a depression but no meniscus damage. I have a plate and 4 screws in my leg.
I’ve been working hard with my PT since week 1 and in the gym and can now walk without limping. I’ve also regained the muscles in my injured leg so they are equally strong.
Now, my surgeon said that I might never run again which is a problem since I’m a runner. I accept that I might not run a marathon again but I refuse to accept that I won’t be able to run at all. Do any of you have any experience getting back to running after TPF? I might just add that I’m a mid-forefoot striker.
Hey , hang in there I fell off of a loading dock at work… I’m a 9 on scale of 1-10 as far as this type of fracture… it’s been two months… I still have no weight bearing…. but I’m feeling better I’ve got more hardware than Home Depot… but I’m finally to the realization that I’m going to be down a year or more… BE PATIENT. !! You will feel better might be a few weeks … but just hang in there!
Our dogs have no way of telling us their pains and frostbite may only
be detected by a change in the dog’s gait. For others, surgery is needed to break the ongoing pain cycle.
Much as you may love that particular pair of shoes it is best to throw
them away as they will give you pain and discomfort each time you wear them.
