ok, so i recently broke my fibula where the bone bent over the top of my boot and cracked in line with the top of it

is it gonna suck when i start skiing again?
 
wow dude almost exactly the same for me. broke my ankle couple years back, got a plate and eight screws, was on crutches for 3 months. i broke it during summer too, but got the plate and screws removed and at thanksgiving, so it had some time to heal. the second surgery wasn't bad at all, and my leg felt much better after. i had to wait about a month to ski, and it hurt at first a little bit, but it got better really quick. not much advice here, just my experience.
 
i broke my tib and fib around two months ago and had surgery which they put in 3 screws and a rod down my tib. im 14 so im still groing which means im supposed to get the hardware out sometime this summer.
 
So i just got back from the doc, he said its too early to take the plates out... im bummin. But apparently hes getting me a cortizone shot.... hopefully that helps

;(
 
that sucks man, i've been playing xbox for the past month and thats filled the void skiing has left kinda well so far

i recommend it
