When I first watched this video, I was in tears and couldn't finish it. It was probably only about 6 days after my surgery, fresh from the operation. Now, it's been 16 days, and I am more determined to get better. Thank you for this 🤗
Struck by a car while on my bike six weeks ago! These videos are so helpful and especially the tip on staying active. Having a lot of post-op nerve pain so can't walk just yet. I scoot to a nearby Starbucks to read and hangout and recently headed back to my twice-weekly volunteer job. Staying engaged is soooo important and helpful. Thanks!!!
Breaking my tibia plateau and laying in bed for 4 months was a very mindful and humbling experience... training of aware breath, deep presence and realizing my body is more than just tissue and bones...still sticking to my plane that i'll get out of it reacher than before😁......thank you for your tips and good luck in the future!
So sorry for your accident , but knowing you, you are creating new ways to train and thrive, encouraging others to stay positive and focused and thrive as well. Thank you for all your work! Wishing you the best in recovery and in your new endeavors!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I had a similar accident, and it is very scary not knowing what the recovery will be. Your video gave me hope and showed me the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks again!
A month into the same type of injury just saw the surgeon who preformed the surgery and was told at least 8 more weeks of non weight bearing. Such a humbling experience hoping to be able to walk by end of summer
Thank you for sharing! I have the same injury as you, I was in a motorcycle accident, I had my surgery three weeks ago and feeling better every day, your video is enlightening.
@@ZackHenderson hello I'm type1 diabetic and I broken my tibia bone today 20th day I'm scary worrying I will be fine will I heal? this though being nightmare in my mind
You're so strong. I have a tib/fib injury caused by a motor vehicle accident injured my left arm torn rotator cuff also. 04/10 will be two months post surgery. It feels like I have such a long road ahead of me. You're an inspiration. Thank you for the videos
Thank you for sharing your story. Crazy you said it didn't hurt. Mine hurt so much. 3 months post op and needed some motivation to keep my rehab consistent.
I am so sorry this happened to you. I am 3 weeks out Tibia and Fibula fracture . Polaris fell on my leg. I was in the mountains of North Carolina. I was in so much pain I felt it brake. I have been dealing with some depression. my bones are healing naturally no surgery because there was no displacement and I was splinted right away. I will be doing all your exercises thank you.
I wish you a speedy recovery! I'm watching your video while sitting in a sling, 4 weeks out from a major rotator cuff surgery! I have exercise limitations, but I'm walking as much as possible and still keeping my diet in check. Thanks for your positive video!
Wishing you the same! My podcast co-host Andy had rotator cuff surgery a couple years ago and just tore his bicep on that same side. As you can imagine, we’re talking a lot about injury these days. If you haven’t already, look up “Zack Henderson Podcast” wherever you tune in 💪🏻
Hey man! I just had a fibula fracture surgery 2 months ago, came up to youtube looking for some motivation and found it!. Playing sports is basically my only entertainment. Having great motivation and attitude definitely plays a huge role in rehab therapy! I hope you are better now. I would like to know how do you feel right now? I have also a fixation with screws, and although there is no pain the fact of that being there, really gives me anxiety.
Hey Walter! Thanks for tuning in and wishing you a strong recovery. Check out the update video I just put out - ruclips.net/video/llhSuBBDZG8/видео.html
We have the same scooter! Thanks for the videos. I'm doing the toe exercises you showed me while in cast, and it is totally helping with the burning feeling I get in my ankle.
it was broken, how lucky for you! I had the misfortune of having a shattered leg. They give me a tibia nail. 4 months later the nail broke. Another operation to repair my leg with plates and screws. Now my leg has been broken again for no reason and I am back in a cast. At almost a year and a half, rehabilitate twice and start again. Now let's hope it's the last break.
Broke my tib/fib playing football about a month and 3 weeks ago , already getting back to walking without the boot and am starting pt pretty soon.I hope your recovery is going well man💪🏾
Hi Zack Thank you for making video ! It really inspired me. I had same kind of injury. Feeling v low that I broke my bone at home ...now 2 weeks down surgery...your video gave ray of hope ...I really wanna get back to my normal routine
Thank you for sharing your accident and recovery stories . I broke my tibia fibia while hiking and had to be carried out by friends. Fortunately we ran into aome other hikers who were emts and had split and first aid. Zinger! Is exactly how i would dcribe the pain. Im in the same sitch - first broken bone, surgery, and hospital stay. Prior to injury i am very active, trail running, hiking, and gym lifting 3x a week. Thank you for the exercise suggestions, im eager to get through surgery and on to recovery!
@@ZackHenderson 1 week post op for ORIF and feeling good. Surgery went well, ended up with a low profile plate and 6 screws and some wire in the tibia, surgeon was happy, he was able to reset the fibia to heal naturally, good news! I'm looking forward to getting the okay at my post op appointment get a boot and get started with physical therapy. Your page and story has been helpful, knowing a little what to expect through this process. Thanks!
Spiral fracture of my fibula & broken ankle .. was walking on the Gettysburg battlefield.. got dizzy & fell & heard my bone break .. surgery needed .. very painful 😮💨😣..
Get well soon, Zack! I have future video content ideas post-full recovery and when we can see you again (post-pandemic)...training with a toddler! ;-) Hope we can see you soon-ish!
Uggg this just happened to me. Three breaks at the distal end of the tibia and fibula. Just had surgery. I was hiking off Mount Baker when it happened, foot stuck in a root on the trail, i fell and the foot didn’t. 8 hours later the helicopter arrived and surgery happened 2 days later. Thanks so much for posting your experience. I’m still having PTSD surrounding what happened…. Long road ahead.
I also have distal tibia and fibula fractures just 1cm above the ankle. I had surgery 14 days ago. How is your recovery progressing? How long does it take to get back to walking without any support?
@@CanInelli so my fractures were end of august 2023, I was non-weight bearing for 8 weeks. I was walking literally the day after the 8 weeks off. I used a trekking pole for probably that first day. Mine was a bimalleolar fracture with a fibula fracture. I had no problem balancing for 30 secs on the broken foot at the 8 week mark too. I was put in a boot on that day. 1 month later they took me out of it and gave me a support brace if I wanted it and I could walk and wear shoes no problem. I am climbing mount whitney and mount rainier this summer and I’m in Tucson training for a month climbing and hiking on lots of uneven territory. Best advice I can give you is do everything your PT tells you, commit 100% and also get your range of motion back to normal. Be patient and focus on other things while you are non-weight bearing. I read a lot and just tried to keep a positive attitude. I think the universe was trying to tell me to slow down last year, lol. You’ve got this!!! I posted a couple of pics and vids of my injury and recover on my instagram if you want to see, I’m @pharmerlynda over there…
I am currently injured recovering from a fractured tibia and radius and ulna happened when a car hit me on my way to a morning group ride. my fracture was at my shin area. I've had 3 surgeries so far on my leg. I am 5 months I into healing and doing PT/OT for therapy. I'm walking in 10 minute increments w a hemiwalker and I bike on my stationary indoor trainer every other day. Thank you for your video and it is very relatable to me.
I am so sorry about your tragic injury. :( At what point did your doctor allow you to weight bear? I also got hit by a car, and am 4 months in but still non-weight bearing. I have an IM tibial nail and my fractures are not perfectly aligned, which means I may need constructive surgery. Any progress in your X-rays?
I’m a paraplegic. Permanently on a wheelchair. I broke my tibia fibula too. 3 screws on top 2 on the bottom & a long rod. It’s been 3 weeks since my surgery. I don’t have feeling from waste down so I don’t feel no pain. My question is how long did it take for ur swelling to go down?
I just shattered my tibia and broke the neck and head of fibula. My knee was also impacted and fractured.. when you said it didn't really hurt, I thought "Dang, he's a true warrior". Lol. I wad flown to Vanderbilt and my ginormous external fixator was done by Dr. Stinner.. it's been 2 1/2 weeks, but I'm still way too swollen for the fixation surgery, which was a huge bummer. When you mentioned Nashville, I felt the need to comment and ask how you were doing, and who did your full fixation surgery.. Dr. Stinner will be on vacation, so Dr..Ombrecht will do mine on 7/3. My fixator involves my femur, and I just realized I can't upload my x-rays.. Hoe were things post op for you? Thank you for making this video, thus has truly been the worst time of my life, as I'm actually bedridden. Any advice is appreciated! So thankful you healed well!
Hey Jess, thanks for chiming in! My ex fix happened in Park City and I got the hardware with the TOA. Be sure to check out my update vlogs here ruclips.net/p/PLwyaDDXHZl1xozlibp4Uq8KaSn5ktwBMn You have my sympathies but know it gets better quick - just commit to your recovery like it's your job. Keep me posted and wishing you all the best.
I agree to train for balance. I broke both my tibia and fibula in a freak skateboard accident 2 days ago, wasn't even on a hill or anything just a regular road (literally skateboarded for nearly 5 years and never got anything but a few scrapes). I feel so lucky to have done ballet for years and trained balance on my skateboard bc bro this shit is so hard.
@@nameandaddress oh no😢, you’re in for a long one. I remember how much it changed my summer when I did it and I couldn’t Jump or run until Christmas Eve (ironically). But after that I had a stronger leg, and stronger muscle due to physiotherapy. I suggest you do take physio because it speeds up the process of healing. He’s young so he will heal fast. Best wishes to your son
Just recently broke my fibula and shattered my tibia and when they gave me the external fixator they misplaced it and the swelling didn’t come down for about two weeks until my final surgery worst pain I have ever felt now have four plates and a bunch of screws
Thank you for sharing and I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm in the same boat right now. When did you transition to the knee scooter? i'm a week and a couple of days in from ankle reduction with internal fixation device surgery from a nasty tib/fib break. I'm still bed ridden. I have to elevate 23 hours per day. And when i do get up it feels like all the blood rushes to the ankle and it throbs. When did you start with the workouts? I was off pain meds by day 6. I was oxy and ibuprofen. When did you transition to the scooter? And after the splint what were your steps - was it splint, cast, boot? Or splint to boot?
@@ZackHenderson That's so amazing. And thank you for these workouts. I'm in a splint now. Hopefully it's been long enough and I can transition to a boot. I hope I can get to use the scooter soon. First appt post surgery is this week. Right now I can't even put pressure on my knee. It's my left ankle. And yay Nashville! I'm originally from Memphis. My daughter lives in Murfreesboro.
I just had ankle surgery. This video is excellent, I will be getting a hand grip and pec stick. The life advice you offer is priceless. Thank you! Would you recommend two hand grips and do both hands at the same time or one at a time?

Can you tell me about my mother once that I had the same operation and once a month and I could not put my leg on the ground and I have a swelling in the leg and pain under the foot is this normal
Hi, hope you are well, just wondered did you get a lot of heel pain when walking when you could get to point of nearly fully weight bearing as your recovery went on? I'm putting as much weight as I can cope with whilst i wait to go back and see if its full healed but as i walk i get a lot of pain in the heel of my affected leg, just wondered if you had similar? thanks in advance
Hi Zach, I am a 58 year old male that was in a serious ski accident on 2/13/23. I completely dislocated my left knee and have an external fixature installed pending surgery. It’s the right leg that really the problem, the right leg tibia and fibia was broken in two placed with a floater piece on my tibia. I had the external fixature installed for a few days then hardware installed on second surgery and external fixation taken off. I did have compartment syndrome and emergency facia done done to release pressure. Soooo my question is how long did it take before you could put enough weight on the leg to go from chair to chair?
I just had a fibula and tibia fracture. No screws or rod were needed. I just wanted to ask can you walk straight after recovery? Is there a difference between before and after the accident?
I broke my Tibia and Fibula walking down some stairs while I was in Mexico a little over five months ago, and let me tell you it was a painful experience especially during the first month I finally left Mexico a month ago, and because I was in Mexico City the elevation was screwing up my body and preventing me from healing properly but now that I'm back in America things are getting better. I can limp around now but I still have to use my walker and my powered wheelchair to get around the swelling is still there so I don't know? I would have been back to normal already but due to all those months in Mexico city it slowed the down the healing process because of I being 8000 ft above sea level any advice you could give me would be most appreciated thanks and please tell me when will the swelling go away so I can start walking again.
Did mine out with my dog plated and screwed got out of hospitle and my boss said your good to me anymore 2 weeks later i was home less you dont know how lucky you are am trying to walk 2 miles a day on it

Aycan gecmis olsun..bende 6 hafta once tibia ve fibula'yi kirdim.Ameliyat oldum. Yuruyemiyorum. Doktor 2-3 ay'a biraz yuruyebilirsin diyor. Son durumun nasil? (1 yil olmus sizin)
@@Larissa-of3qt geçmiş olsun tşk ederim. İyiyim şuan hiç bi sorun yok. Ben 37. Gün basmıştım sen neden yürüyemiyorsun korkudan mı başka bişey mi ? İçini rahat tut benim 2 ay içinde baya baya eskiye dönmüştü korktuğum gibi olmadı her gün 10k bile yürüdüm Eylül ayında
@@Aycan243 Benim kirigim farkli - tibia ve fibua kirildi. bir kemik de 2 kirik digerinde 1 kirik var. Ameliyat oldum. 34 cm. civi takildi (dizden ve bilekden girildi) bilege 3 tane civi , dize de 2 tane civi takildi. En zor kiriklardan mis benim kirik. 3 ay sonra hafifce bastiricam dedi doktor ama tam iyilesme 1 yil diyor.
@@Aycan243 Sizin ameliyatli ve parcali kirikmiydi benim ki gibi? cuNKU PARCALI KIRIKLARDA 2 AY'DA yurumek mumkun degil.
@@Larissa-of3qt yalan söylemiyorum. Benim de 3 yerden kırıldı ve dediğin kemikler. Eylülde ortalama 9k adım atmışım ameliyat da hazirandaydı. Sizin ameliyatınız zorlu olmuş demek ki. Herkesin süreci farklı.
I just broke my leg also😢 when did your pain subside? I’m 2 weeks in and still pretty painful
Just broke my tibia and fibula 2 weeks ago. Still painful for me , lots of tingling sensations, not on any painkillers
Can you tell me about my mother once that I had the same operation and once a month and I could not put my leg on the ground and I have a swelling in the leg and pain under the foot is this normal
Dudddde, same injury, exactly the same location… Motorbike injury, 70 days in.. Titanium screw snapped last week, 1 left to go 😂 all is well..
Hi, hope you are well, just wondered did you get a lot of heel pain when walking when you could get to point of nearly fully weight bearing as your recovery went on? I'm putting as much weight as I can cope with whilst i wait to go back and see if its full healed but as i walk i get a lot of pain in the heel of my affected leg, just wondered if you had similar? thanks in advance
Thats like mine, but mine was a spiral fracture.
Always the last day or last run.
Hi Zach, I am a 58 year old male that was in a serious ski accident on 2/13/23. I completely dislocated my left knee and have an external fixature installed pending surgery. It’s the right leg that really the problem, the right leg tibia and fibia was broken in two placed with a floater piece on my tibia. I had the external fixature installed for a few days then hardware installed on second surgery and external fixation taken off. I did have compartment syndrome and emergency facia done done to release pressure. Soooo my question is how long did it take before you could put enough weight on the leg to go from chair to chair?
About 3 months
I just had a fibula and tibia fracture. No screws or rod were needed. I just wanted to ask can you walk straight after recovery? Is there a difference between before and after the accident?
Hey I had surgery last week
I have many doubts
How can I contact you
I broke my Tibia and Fibula walking down some stairs while I was in Mexico a little over five months ago, and let me tell you it was a painful experience especially during the first month I finally left Mexico a month ago, and because I was in Mexico City the elevation was screwing up my body and preventing me from healing properly but now that I'm back in America things are getting better.
I can limp around now but I still have to use my walker and my powered wheelchair to get around the swelling is still there so I don't know? I would have been back to normal already but due to all those months in Mexico city it slowed the down the healing process because of I being 8000 ft above sea level any advice you could give me would be most appreciated thanks and please tell me when will the swelling go away so I can start walking again.
Did mine out with my dog plated and screwed got out of hospitle and my boss said your good to me anymore 2 weeks later i was home less you dont know how lucky you are am trying to walk 2 miles a day on it
