flyangel2 2 #6 May 20, 2003 After two years with metal in my ankle, I just had it removed last November. I had a plate also, and that's what was bugging me. I carry the metal in my logbook.

I was wondering though, has anyone here had problems walking through the metal detectors on the airports? Do you need some kind of a certificate to explain the non-stop "beep beep" even after you've been stripped naked? --- P.

NoPush 0 #11 May 20, 2003 The bright side........ Every landing form this point on will be a little more exiting and the first few back will be on your arss. Look into a brace called "The Ultimate" from Bledsoe at http://bledsoebrace.com/PRODUCTS/Ankle/ANKLE.HTM [http://bledsoebrace.com/PRODUCTS/Ankle/ANKLE.HTM] I jump one and they are bullet proof. Your Doc should be able to Rx it. Get well soon......Blue skies... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racer42 0 #14 May 21, 2003 Oh yeah....thats jump 77. Kinda sucks. But do the PT and you should be just fine. Jump 205 might be a little scary but at least you'll know when a cold front is coming thru. Blu skies.

canopywhore 0 #15 May 21, 2003 Hey cheer up, the screws in my femur are holding a rod in the middle of the bone. Do what the doc says for awhile. If he says stay off of it, stay off of it. I waited till he gave me permission to push it. I've done 100 jumps since my jackass like landing and it hasn't been a year yet. I hope you heal quickly. They are right about the landings, ever since my accident my idea of a good landing is one I walk away from. I tell everybody that I checked my pride in at the ER.

jerm 0 #18 May 21, 2003 cool brace looking thing, but not until he has the long screw out.... Planar and dorsi flexion are both inadvised and difficult with that screw in because it keeps the tib and fib from doing the little dance around eachother that they normally do to allow thos flexions. and yes, petur.. do the PT!!! i have full range-of-motion back in the ankle in the xray (see below) thanks in no small part to my PT GF making me do my PT all the time Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #21 May 21, 2003 Mmm. Not always practical. My 14 screws and 22cm plate would look like I was wearing a garden rake. I've lost the plate and 2 or three of the screws now, but I'll always have the scar... tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
