What is the recovery time for a growth plate fracture in the tibia by the knee?
Ok so i was recently in a car accident and hit my knee really hard on the dash. my knee took a big blow and i fractured my tibia right on the top on the growth plate. I don’t have any other damage just really swollen and that one fracture. i was just wondering how long it will take to fully heal up so i can walk again and when i will be able to snowboard again. my dr originally said 2 weeks and i could start walking but now he say at least six and then rehab, it has been 4 and i still canbarelyey bend my knee halfway.
how long do you think and what should i do?
or do you think i may need surgery? they said i wont but it seems to not be getting better?
I just want to know if its serious or if i just need to be patient
and it will heal?
THANKS!!!
Just like with any injury it will take time to heal. It could take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months. Follow your doctor’s advice, do what he tells you and be patient, it will take time.
Good luck.
