I heard he broke it smashing the counter at his dealer demanding to see the Fly Racing catalog

After buying it, I noticed 6D has them on their site for $350

Those pictures sure bring back my memories (or nightmares!!) I had a devastating Pilon fracture tib/fib and crushed ankle, NWB for 9 months 4 plates two are from just below my knee to the bottom of my tib , external fixator for first 2 months and 32 screws, three surgeries the first year and finally out of many casts and walking with a limp at 14 months, had way too much Oxy and Morphine no wonder people crave drugs that stuff makes you forget all your troubles, you just never know how it’s going to turn out I thought they...

I had a pretty clean break of my tib/fib with the bones coming out of the skin. They put in a rod (nail) from my knee to almost my ankle with 5 screws holding it in place. It happened almost 8 years ago. The right side of my leg has nerve damage and is mostly numb. My leg swelled up quite often anytime I was on it or used it and still does to this day if I’m on it a lot. My bones are sore the day after I ride right where the break was still. Also any cardio...

Broke my tib/fib, dislocated my foot and broke up the joint back in 2007. Had plate and screws, and they cleaned the joint up. I struggled with serious pain for about 2 months, then after PT and light exercise I was back riding after 8 months. Since then it hurts every day, swells after standing all day, and has arthritis in the joint. I've just learned to deal with it now. I strap it up tight with a brace when I ride and I don't have any problems on the bike. Hurts like hell for a day or so after...

Well, here's been my experience... External Fixator for 4 weeks, 2nd surgery 11/11....non weight bearing until almost 3 weeks ago when I got a walking boot. Hobbling around since then (first few days with a cane), but getting better (big gains) every single day. Foot is still swollen a bit, but I now can get around house without walking boot. While I have sensation everywhere, some parts of the area feel kinda "asleep." The most recent picture (3rd one?) is almost exactly 4 months from the date of me eating shit. ..

I broke my tib/fib/ankle and need surgery (14 screws and 2 plates). My vision of recovery after numerous major injuries is get back in active mode as fast as possible but listen to your body. The human body is a incredible machine and adaptation. 5 months after that injuries I was in alpine skiing (didn't go too well because of the plates). I had the plates removed a year later exactly. I had to complain of major incomfort to have it done. I was on crunches for 2 days after the second surgery and walking normaly after. In a nutshell...

Broke my tib fib in 8 or so places about 19 years ago. Broke the growth plate as well. My foot was pointing out 90⁰. Don't have any issues with that break. About 9 years ago I broke my fib and had to get it plated. It took quite a while before it wasn't tender. I could hit the plate hard and it wouldn't hurt, but light touches would cause pain. It was like that for at least 5 years. Don't notice it anymore and I hardly ever have pain in that leg. Your situation is more serious than either...

I broke tib and fib into 7 pieces in april. External fixation for 3 weeks followed by another op for 2 plates and 16 screws. Fmx is my full time job so i did everything i could to get healed asap. Low level laser therapy, pulse magnetic field therapy and oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber. I was back riding in 3 months. Doctors were shocked at my healing and said i was originally looking at minimum 6 months before i could ride again. My ankles still far from working normal and i still get swelling everyday and some pain...

I broke my tib fib in september and got a rod in my tib from my knee to my ankle, they did nothing to the fib. From the sound of it, yours is a bit gnarlier/different. I started riding a stationary bike in December which really helped to rebuild some strength and mobility. Additional to the stationary bike, I did some basic PT as boring as it is, it helps a lot. At about 10 weeks out I started riding a mtb. I spent a few weeks cruising fireroads and eventually was back to single-track but riding with caution. I...

Broke mine 16 months ago. 5 surgeries 1 infection and a fusion later and it’s still trash.

Broke mine in 2008. Two surgeries later. 12 weeks no weight. Rehab with a sports PT, and a bone stimulator every day. I was just over 8 months to 100%. Plated with 7 Screws. The injury area will occasionally get sore during a day of riding, but not to the point it is intolerable. I am essentially 100%. Robbi

I had a very similar situation. My leg is permanently messed up. I get drop foot some, My fascia was cut, so the muscle by my shin pumps up big when stressed. But in all honesty, I've learned to live with it and don't really notice it much anymore. It took a couple of years for it to feel mostly normal. Still hurts me from time to time and will get sore occasionally for no real reason. I also can barely jump off it still after 20 years. But for moto, I was riding after 7-8 months or so. I...

Your situation is worse than a clean tib/fib break, like the one I had. It still seemed to take forever for mine to heal, and I was in my 20's at the time. Broke it in March and did not get back on a dirtbike until August. In hindsight, I think I did it wrong: I waited for it to much less painful to bear weight before I started doing much. I see where guys are bearing weight on repaired limbs very very quickly, and I suspect that speeds the healing process. At the time, my thought process was that...

It will be hard for anyone to compare with you as your break is pretty unique. I broke my tib/fib and dislocated my ankle and it was Two weeks no weight, after surgery, and ten additional weeks after that.

I had a somewhat similar accident back in October of 2019. While I'm nowhere near 100% recovered, I'm far past what my surgeon expected given how egregious the injury. My takeaways: • Physical Therapy is an absolute must. Don't go to whomever your insurance suggests, seek out a PT who works specifically with athletes and understands your goals and ambitions. • Take care of yourself, holistically. Diet and exercise are paramount. Cut all processed foods from your diet and EAT CLEAN; crap food creates a tremendous amount of edema and inflammation in your body. Your leg is already at a...
