ZetaTre Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Did you ask the doc if he could have used Titanal instead of Titanium? Get well quick George!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Good luck with the healing George. Sorry about the accident. As carvers we are pushing that envelope on a lot of our favorite runs that have trees on the sides. Glad to hear they found the fractures and put your Tibial Plateau back together. That scar is going to itch! I've got one about half that length from a few years ago when I broke my lateral Femoral Condyle (the bottom of the femur that is opposite your fracture).

Terryw Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Glad to see you are on the mend. Heal fast. I want to see you ripping it up with the new coda board next year at Summit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 That's pretty gnarly looking. I feel your pain (well, not right now, but i'm familiar with it). In any case, heal up, but don't rush it. And most important to the whole process - stay positive. It's really easy to get down and depressed and/or pissed off about the situation. You'll be back at it soon enough, things will get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really easy to get down and depressed and/or pissed off about the situation. You'll be back at it soon enough, things will get better. So True. A positive mental attitude is the best way to get healthy. When I shattered my wrist many years ago (dirtbike), all I wanted to do is get back on and ride asap. That kept me going through the fun of physical therapy. Welcome to the Ti body parts club:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Just wanted to send a little healing energy south. Very sorry to hear about the injury, but it sounds like the surgeon did a good job putting you back together. Heal well. Keep us posted with how it's going. Positive energy sent.

slopestar Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 So How goes the healing process??? You getting better or what? I need carpool friends to Mountain High. Besides, it would be nice to hear you are back at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Jeez??!!! Why didn't they just start at your crotch and go clear to your toes? That is some opening. Two hairline fractures turning into 6, is a bummer. I too had a broken leg. Mine? "High Energy Tib-Fib" is what they called it. I think that means it BROKE REAL GOOD!! Like big messy ends. Got a 15in Ti Nail . Not fun, 12+ weeks off work. 9 weeks , no pressure on leg/foot, lots of narcotics. Hope you are healing up well, I missed this thread evidently first time around. They did surgery to remove a couple of the screws at one end of the nail to incourage healing via pressure at the actual break site. Hurt like hell again for several weeks. My scars a tiny by comparison. I have six of them though. Surgery in Aspen, my surgeon here said "Nice job, I would have made much larger insisions". Must be the "Rice and famous" Drs and their not wanting to leave scars? I didn't really care much, just did a nice job of cutting me.

GeorgeS Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey Lance Good to hear from you! Yeah, I'll carpool with you but I may be a little out of the way(57 and 210 fwys). My Doc said I will be riding this season so that's the info I'm going on. I'm walking all over the place but not always without limping, but then again I couldn't walk two months ago. I may start after the 1st of the year though. Bryan Thanks for the post. I think we mislabled it a hairline. It was a definite Tib/Fib as my lower leg was angled forward quite a bit more than normal right after I hit. The surgery was for the Tibial Plateau fracture on the left side of my knee(Buell was right on). Part of the Plateau broke off and need to be pushed back up and held in place with the plate and screws. It's was great hearing from everyone local and from you and Buell and Carvedog. Here's a front view of my "Plate"(and screws). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 That's great news George! Ya, Glendora is a bit out of the way but I did just buy my pass so I will be going quite a bit. Bought a Burton 165 fusion/BX board. I figure I can ride softies or my Freecarve boots and race plates will go well with it too. Decided the pass was more cost effective than buying new boots and a bigger alpine deck. I look forward to your first day back on the Hill!

carvingchef Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi George, the 2nd of January sounds really good ;) nice to know you'll be back for the upcoming season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryw Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hmmm, likely to be working patrol that day. But it is much better now that I am out of training. I can actually take some runs with my carving brothers now. I'm just glad you will be up there at all. We will definitely get together! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
