I'm celebrating.........
I fell off a ladder at work back on Nov 10th and ended up with a Tibial Plateau Fracture in 3 pieces and a tibia fracture in 2 places. After almost 6 months today they removed the Taylor Spatial Frame . I have a brace on now and am looking at 3 to 6 months of rehab. I so happy to have that thing of my leg and I can wear pants again. Before and after pics and a well deserved cigar

I hope you continue to heal up and have a speedy recovery. That is one hell of a contraption you had to wear for almost 6 months!

OMG! That looks like a medieval torture device (and I'm sure it felt like it). No clue they still had such things instead of just hard plastic casts. Speedy recovery!!
