Makes my 9 screws and 5 plates after a groundfall look like small beer in comparison! Poor you. Hope your recovery's going well.

Am still non weight bearing. Should be able to start physio in the middle of may hopefully. Thanks for your good wishes!

Good grief, youth. You need to take better care of yourself!
Still, it's an impressive photo, so perhaps all worth it, eh?
:-)

Oh - I see it's not yours. !!
I hope he rovers OK

Hopelessly confused - I thought this was Dave Williams leg - ignore my comments....

As the old saying goes, the climb isn't over until your back on the ground. ;-)

Nope. This is my leg and Dave who has also broken his leg at some point expressed best wishes for getting better.

I was back on the ground when this happened so the old saying might be more appropriate if it was 'back on the sofa at home'.

The joint surfaces are almost unbroken (not an intra-articular fracture?)
You are lucky guy.

It looks like they intended having a longer screw in the proximal tibial position,but then put in a screw which only went into the cis cortex.I wonder why?
Certainly I would be careful with this and not take any risks.
