Replying to Anyone have experience with broken tibias?

So I broke my tibia pretty good at spring pass at Hood. 2nd day of the trip which sucked terribly Spiral fracture with a comminuted bone, it was a mess.


anyway long story short I had to get an emergency surgery out there before flying home and they had to hammer a rod in my leg that’s about the length of my tibia and attach it with screws up towards my knee and down by my ankle. Has anyone ever had this procedure before and if so how has it affected your skiing? What was your recovery time like and when you were “cleared” by doctors did you still have to take it easy riding well after your clearing date? Any experiences would be appreciated, just trying to get an idea of what next season could look like.
