Wrecked= Broken Ankle

[LeGaCyGiAnT124]

yea i know everyone said to buy nerfs with heelguards and all that, believe me i am

well yesterday at about 4:00 i was riding my 400 and i had my helmet on but i didnt wear my boots at the time, what do you know i hit a jump, get sideways and my foot slipped off the nerf and i ran over my left foot and was drug under my quad for like 3 seconds then it through me off. i did break my ankle but it didnt hurt as bad as i thought it would. does anyone know how long it takes to heal??????

also does anyone remember the pic on exriders where he runs his foot over because he didnt have heelguards? well if you could post that thats exactly what i did

sorry for the long post just had to tell you about my summer so far....:grr:

[jak1389]

thats a great way to start off the summer. it depends on the break for how long it will heal. do you know what type it is?

[TRX_450]

i got ac propegs and i got my stock heelguards to fit....i cut the one side of the heelguard strait so it would fit then drilled a hole in the side of the peg so the crooked mount would go it and then jus ran a scarew through the bottom with the other mount....can get pics if u want em

[LeGaCyGiAnT124]

i cracked it right where that pick is, i didnt break the whole thing though

trx450 pm a pic of them

That's interesting it didnt hurt that badly. The thing with ankles is that, oftentimes, a break will hurt much less than a bad sprain. At least in my experience, when I sprained my ankle, it hurt like a mofo because I just stretched/tore tendons and ligament up instead of just a clean break of a bone. Correct me if im wrong, but I think that it hurts worse if your tendons get stretched badly than if you just cleanly broke your bone and didnt really hurt anything else.

yea i do agree with u because when i wrecked on my peddle bike I sprained my finger and it hurt worse than when this happened imo but my foot hurts now because of the swelling

You're out a minimum of 6 weeks !!!! Time to sit back and reflect on what happened.... and add parts to your quad . :D I've had almost a year to reflect now :(

[duke416ex]

A year:eek2: sorry to hear that, and sorry to hear bout your ankle, I broke my leg before and its no fun. Makes you be more careful and make you think more bout gear. Just practice up on the playstation and you will be better than ever;) Thats's what I did j/k

[devildriver422]

yea breaks never hurt that bad. i sprained my wrist 2x after breaking it, and spraining it hurt so much more. i also sprained my thumb at the same time and that hurt like a *****, n then i had to ride home and of course it was my right hand so throttle wasnt fun. i sprained an ankle too and that hurt alot. the only thing ive broken that hurt more then a sprain was my rib. that was the worst. im actually just fully recovered from it the doc said 6 weeks and its been 6 weeks a few days ago, but who listens to doctors? i was riding 2 weeks later and its fine

I broke my ankle in september still on recovery with very little movement and I walk bad and still hurts (my tendons hurts because of the surgery), but yours is nothing compared to mine
The bad thing is that if you hurt the articulation part of the bones it could get less movility.
I´m still fighting to recover the best I can but is real hard and YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE RECOVERY YOU DO Hope you heal fast with any problem
wish you luck on this one and work hard to get better


here are the pics

BTW Ask anything you want to know, but be good, your ankle is much better than mine and it hasn´t brake that bad

[Mxjunkie]

time for nerfs and heel guards, I gave up billet cases for nerf bars, but hey I feel safer with them :p :)

[Warnerade]

i broke my ankle and sprng my other at redbud..and ya, the sprang did hurt worse than the broken there fore a while...as long as your break isnt too serious, it should only take 6 weeks in a cast...then another 2-4 without riding to get your ankle back to full strength. Im on my last week in the cast..thank god.

damn dude what happened to you???:eek2: :ermm:

[willow2679]

the same as that picture but the feet run below the axle between it and the floor after a big jump I did. The tibia or the thinner one (I don´t know the name in english) bone went out through the skin
My good that pic looks scary too :eek:

[bansheeguy77]

that definately sucks, i had that happen twice but lucky i just couldnt walk for a week sprained real bad but no breakage. jumped off a 10 ft coal bank once , cased it and ran over myself..bought boots.....few months later hit a 40 ft table at rausch when my pegs were wet...landed on ankle....bought nerfs....from now on before i spend any sort of money on hop-ups i am making sure that i am as safe as can be with the best possible safety equipment on the bike and myself....what goods a sweet lookin fast bike, with the rider layin in the hospital out of riding for a year.....
