[QUOTE="KTMSMITH, post: 268612, member: 27721"] I am almost recovered from a nasty leg break I had in September of 2001. I broke my tibia, fibia and ankle. I have had two surgeries and now have a metal rod the length of my lower leg and 3 pins. I am scheduled to have pins removed in two weeks. Has anybody had a similiar injury and can you relate how long it took to recover from pin removal. At this point I don't think I will remove the rod. Doc originally thought we would take it out in 1 year, but after consulting with other orthos, he is leaning towards leaving it in. My ortho admits he does not have much experience with motorcyle related breaks, and has consulted with other orthos who do , and they say leave it in. I am finally able to train without pain and plan on riding soon, but wonder if this pin removal will delay my riding and racing. I do have the option of leaving pins in, but they are causing pain..and Doc says they increase the likelihood of a break..becasue they provide a stress point. Any thoughts or similiar experiences?
