Karan Grover, New Delhi, India

Hello, I was surfing on the net when I came across a post by "Shaun, From St. Petersburg, FL".

Shaun's original post

Actually on Sept 13 2009 in an accident, I got exactly injuries mentioned in the post. I got a Dislocated Tibia and fractured Fibula. I had surgery same day and both the fractures have been fixed. Lateral malleolus has been fixed with one third semitubular plate. For medial malleolus tension band wiring has been done.

Above is the X-ray done after the surgery. Also I left with a wound without skin on it from where my Tibia bone came out. After 15 days of surgery I got a plaster on my ankle with an open window in the plaster at the wound location for cleaning and dressing of wound.
Now after a month doctor suggested me to walk with full load bearing on my feet with supports "if required" to balance. The wound is healing since am able to see that tissues are generating and covering "Periosteum" (is a membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones). Am recovering and am able to walk without any support also. Am not walking normally but yet am able to walk without support. This light weight plaster will be there for another couple of weeks.

I know what this guy Shaun felt that moment… I would like to know about his present situation cause it’s gonna to be same with me also. Any contact detail, email whatever if I can have, I really want to contact this guy.
Any help from your side to contact Shaun???

Karan, I emailed you a response to your contact. My suggestion is to post a comment to Shaun's original post and see if he responds. You may get comments from other visitors who have suffered an injury similar to yours.

Good luck with your recovery.

Recovery
by: Karan Grover

Hi, Its been two months now since surgery done. The plaster had been removed and now am able to walk without supports. There is a slight movement it ankle in up and down direction. Still the wound is in progress stage and might take another couple of months to heal. Swelling is there around my ankle joint might be due to which am not able to move my feet in up and down direction much.
that was the latest update.
