Who?
Lindsey Vonn
She is a competitive skier and had a had injury recently and the doctor is sharing x-rays of the injury. Recovery from this type of injury is very hard because of how separated the bones are. It is hard to get them to actually knit together so you often need to use wire or screws to connect the bones and it often is only partially successful, requiring second or more surgeries to set things in place again. I had a much more minor injury which required two surgeries because the muscles in my hand were not held correctly due to the compromised bone and dislocated another bone.
Must be the curse of competing for the USA under this admin. Hope she gets the titanium and not the iron or aluminium implants.
Yeah. The titanium is awesome. I have screws and they bonded very well with the bone, absolutely no issues. Apparently the titanium expands and contracts less with temperature changes which is good for preventing aching in weather changes.
