Hi Leigh,
Glad to hear you got it treated acutely (as in immeadiatyl after injury)
as results are massively, massively better then if it is left to heal and
treated as a chronic injury. I saw one of these two weeks ago. Lady was 20
stone and it had been blown for like two years. We used an artifical
ligment in her case, and she will be in a cast for six weeks.

Do you know what they used to do your repair? I would guess they did what
we call a peel down. Have they given you a cast?

How did you blow it by the way?
Anyhows.. big get well soon to all of you from all of us.
