So in 2 consecutive crashes I managed to get a fractured Fibula, Fracture in both ankles, bone bruising, squished nerve and Stress fractures in my shins. + Probable torn membrane in my knee. Not happy, needless to say this has put me out for the season and probably the year kind of bummed. Had lots of tests x-rays, MRI and Nuclear bone scan. Seeing the orthopedic surgeon on monday to see if my knees okay. Anyone done a huge range of injuries in one crash?

I'm so sorry! I have never gotten any ski related injuries (cross my fingers, knock on wood) but if I were in your shoes I know it would not be a good feeling

Vibes...11 months ago i fractured both my tib and fib on my right leg. the fib compounded and the tib was a high stress/force fracture that required a lot of removing of excess bone fragments. On top of that I got compartment syndrome (that is when you have basically injuried the muscle bad enough to where it fills with fluid and if the fascia covering the muscle starts to get real tight. if not treated via fasciotomy will level to vessel constriction and causing the muscle to become necrotic). Then I got some form of emboli (they never were sure what it was) sent to my lungs and ended up with pumonary edema. Overall, it ended with my condition getting really bad (being put on a ventilator bad) and flown to a major trauma center. Ended my season last season, so I feel your pain...

well, I didn't exactly break both my ankles, or anything as bad as ashy to clasy (orw.e) but I did snap my ankle in half this december. So I know the feeling, gimmie a shout, if you want any idea on things to pass the time or what not. Being in a cast non weight bearing for 2 months almost sucks.

++vibes girl...life sucks when you're injured.  But it could be worse, I know that's so cliche'.  But you will ski again, that's what to look forward to. Hang in there :)

that sucks brooke, but you will get back up. 2 yrs ago i broke my arm and snapped my collar bone through my back within 6 months, but skiing keeps you going.

i hope you get back on the hill soon.
goodluck!
