My friend did this falling down some stairs  Roll Eyes

He should be able to do sports properly again in about 2-3 months the hospital said

Hope you recover soon  Sad

I'm a physio and i would have thought at least 3 months. It would be about 2 for the fracture to heel and then another 4 to 6 weeks to regain full range of movement because the bone is so awkward. its all dependant on if the fracture needed to be wired, and if its a chip off it, or split straight down the middle.

Sorry

You looked pretty bashed up yesterday when you left, pity you missed the practice thingy. I hope you get fixed soon.

I shattered my knee cap a few years back - f*cking painful I tell you bro, was out for 18 months after that (and in a wheelchair for 7 months - I also shattered 3 vertebrae in my neck in the same crash).
