More than once. We used a boot and even then had to be sure and check for
pressure sores. My dr absolutely would not do a hard cast.

I too had a spiral fracture doing something similar. Had a hard cast
that was replaced a few times and after the last one came off, I noticed
my heal had started to break down. Be careful

So I broke my leg Last Friday Night turning around in the dark with my power
chair. The toe of my boot caught on my bed and I twisted it and heard a pop. So
now I have a cast up to my knee that I can't feel. Anyone on here have any

I've also had a cast on a broken bone before and everything went perfectly fine.

I must concur John. I am not a doctor, but I have known a lot of SCI
individuals who have broken their legs over the years and one thing is a

Did the Ortho consider the use of an electric stimulator before placing the
cast on to help stimulate growth in the bone. Its been done in sports
medicine to promote faster healing. Just thought to mention.

I did exactly the same thing last year - a tibia/fibula spiral fracture.
I should have twice. I could not believe how many people saw my leg being

I did exactly the same thing last year - a tibia/fibula spiral fracture. Three
months in a splint in bed in the hospital. Luckily, I'm a Veteran so there is
no worry about cost. I am a C3/4 incomplete with sensation so there was a lot
of pain. You may have more bouts of AD. Be strong!

Geez Michael..
Tibs are tough too. It could be worse, but not by much.
Take Care!

I get those tiny fractures from the way the bones deformed after the accident when I broke my neck. Actually,, the broken neck was only one of many things broken. A lot of the bones didn't and won't heal
I disagree with giving this Dr. another chance. Some times Drs get
too busy to do what needs doing for each patient under their care, some just

Dear River,
Broken bones and fractures in areas that we can't feel are tricky. There really isn't a hurry especially after the 1st 24 hours. If it isn't causing AD then there is little any doctor can do that will improve how it heals. Keep weight off of it and try not to agrevate it. Watch your
