slightly different, broke the medial tibial plateau in my right knee, fell off motorbike avoiding chip eating pedestrian crossing between traffic as I filtered through. Broke the bone saturday night, into doctors on the monday after knee swelled upto the size of a grapefruit, sent to hospital the same day, sat in a+e for the rest of the day whilst they waited for doctor to look at knee, admitted that evening, had surgery on the friday, let out on the following monday. Six months on crutches, three months non weight bearing, six months of physio.
Opened up the side of the knee to put a pin in it to fix the broken bone, titanium for the win, plus two little slits for the camera's. Told I'd definitely get arthritis in the knee if nothing was done, and then after operation, when I went for physio, had the physio go all builder on me, as they told me that not may people got the full range of motion back after this sort of break.
Knee's been fine ever since, get a bit of jip when the seasons change, twinge in the knee, dull ache, that sort of thing. The other knee that I dislocated previously gives me more trouble...
know there's a physio on here who can give you some advice and exercises to do, which would be more cycling specific, he started this thread... http://www.lfgss.com/thread29902.html
have a word.
hope your knee gets sorted..
