Sooo I shattered my heel into 12 pieces and have 15 screws, 3 wires and 40something staples holding it together. Ive done a shit ton of research, but have not found any cases of a fractured heel in skiers or snowboarders. I believe it is a similar injury as tanner hall on chads, but obviously less severe and Im just guessing because I couldnt find tanners xray. Basically Im just wondering if anyone else has had this injury and was able to ski again. My surgeon said and I quote "You will probably be able to walk again with some minor to moderate complications" I had a 4 hour surgery and will be non-weight bearing for 3 months minimum. After that its going to be vigorous PT and Im actually really looking forward to that. I realize skiing is about the worst sport to return to after this injury, another large impact from the bottom could pull the screws out and my calcaneus would collapse. If anyone has had this or a similar injury Im just trying to figure out where to go from here.
TLDR Broken heel, am I fucked or is skiing ever possible again.
