Tib/fib fracture + water ramps

So I fractured my tib fib at the beginning of april and the doctor told me while taking my cast off (after the two months in a cast) that I could be completely back to normal for fall. By normal I mean all the activities (like skiing) I used to do before fracturing it. Well that isn't very clear and it sounds a little bit long. I'm planning on going to water ramps mid-august. I know it's water and the landing isn't THAT rough (I've went before) but I just want to make sure I'll be good because I do not want to miss a second full ski season. In my mind I'm sure I'll be fine... but if it happened to you before, how long did it take for you're leg to be fully back to normal and could do anything without worrying of hurting it again.

Thanks for the help.

if he passed you for skiing you should be fine for water ramps, I used to go every year. Just stay clear of the tramps if your sketched.

It really depends on the fracture, some fractures may break the bone if the impact if excessive, you can try to protect the tib buy making a makeshift brace, but I dont think the landings will be that tough that you can seriously injure it.

Dont go too big, feel the pain and gauge well

have fun
