Alex, yes, I agree 6 weeks is a bit optimistic! Can only dream! I broke my right tib and fib about 25 years ago, much more trauma, open fracture etc, that time I was put in a full leg plaster for 9 months before they decided to put a nail in! In total I was in plaster for 11 months and off work for 13! At least this break was closed, all the metalwork was put in place within 24 hours, I’m not in plaster at all, just a ‘moon boot’ to wear when I go out, round the house and in bed I can just leave the leg fully exposed, it’s great! (relative term! not break would be better!) very little pain, just a bit uncomfortable at night on occasion. Don’t know if I got SS or Ti, didn’t even know there was the option of Ti. I’ll ask when I see the doctor again in 3 weeks, when hopefully he says I can weightbear.
Cheers
Tony
