I just came back from the Orthopedist today and here is what the report is saying
Findings
Transverse fracture of the upper medical aspect of the proximal tibial shaft is seen with perifocal edema.
The midline anterior aspect of the tibial plateau also shows evidence of osteochondral fracture with underlying bone edema.
Adjacent femoral condylar trochlear cartilage also shows edema.
Subcutaneous edema is seen at the anteromedical aspect of the knee joint.
Mild knee joint effusion is noted
Conclusion
Transverse fracture at the upper medical aspect of the right tibial shaft with adjacent edema.
Osteochondral fracture at the anterior aspect of the tibial plateau and lateral patellar articular margin.
Intact ligaments and menisci.
I did not know that jump rope could do that !
The Dr was astonished to see what the cause was.
Impressive. Uh - does this mean you get a cast? Or is it something that just requires rest?
ReplyDeleteHi Karim, I hope the leg is healing? Thats a bummer, but I'm sure Patrick has advised you of an alternative. DOn't think you can get out of gym class with a doctors note- oldest trick in the book!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Wow, that sounds just dreadful. What were you skipping on in general? Hope that now that you know what it is that you can take care of it. Good luck. Swimming sounds a good option for rehab.
