I was T-Boned while riding my motorcycle 4 years ago. The head of the Tibia was fractured in many places and the surgeons told me the leg would probably have to come off. I told them that that was the worst plan I had ever heard of and that they should try anything else. After a week of consultation with the nations surgeons, my Doc said that they could try something new that may have a small chance of working. As I had full medical insurance, and cost was not an issue, I told him to go ahead.(see X-ray)
It took tons of rehab but I am fine today and can walk and do whatever I need , a little slower than originally. I stay away from parachuting and motorcycling apart from water landings as all that hardware could really make a mess with a hard landing or another crash. There is no pain anymore and no sign of the need for a knee replacement either, which is more than I can say for lots of my jump buddies with a few thousand jumps. I am 64 now, so don't expect too much from my legs anymore anyway.
