This is one that has been hanging around for awhile.
I generally take off that first full week of October to get out of town on day trips, and coming to Santa Fe to see the Aspens is what I try to do first.
That day had started out overcast after some good rains.
I hadn't thought the climb up Big Tesuque Trail was terribly steep or hard.
But on my descent back from where it crosses the Aspen Vista Trail I began having tremendous knee pain.
Knee pain is my business, but the only thing which controlled the posterior knee pain was descending backward. It wasn't the typical anterior pain from quads and poor patellar tracking. I think it was from hamstrings as the pain was lateral near fibular head, or from the fibular nerve which can be tweaked as it goes by. Combined with that I have no ACL in that knee, I think the shearing forces could have caused either problem.
It took me the rest of that week to get the knee better, and caused me to not be going on the excursions I had planned.
So the photos from that day are particularly precious.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

.... for 6 weeks with the diagnosis of severe sprain with fibular styloid fracture, and forbidden to set foot on the ground. Meaning: wheelchair, crutches and splints and ice bread. Here I am installed in the living room. Difficult to take the stairs with crutches ...
This is my 5 year old daughter on her strider bmx bike. She races at seatac bmx, just outside of Seattle WA. Addie has a prosthetic leg but it doesn't stop her from racing or riding her skateboard, cool huh? She's riding her 2 wheeler and will graduate to a larger racing bike later in the season.
Skeleton you are my friend
But you are made of bone
And you have got no flesh and blood
Running through you to help protect the bone
Skeleton we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials
And tribulations and some tears
But everybody thinks I'm weird
And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
Skeleton we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes
Skeleton when we were young
It was easy
Even though the other kids
They would tease me
But I was only seven I had you
But now I'm twenty-two
And now it's different, when I take you out
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
'Cause sometimes at night,
I dream of the most terrible things
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high
And I smash your head
Fibular and tubular
And ribs and cages, too
In fact, while I'm here
I'll smash the whole of you
Smaaaaaaaaaaash !
But Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end
And even though, when I take you out
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
I could, I could never let you go
And that is all I know
And that is all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
And that is all I know, know

My 5 year old daughter on her skateboard. She has a prothetic leg and loves to ride her BMX bike and skateboard.
Ankle diagram showing the ankle ligaments on the outside of the ankle and basic anatomy: the calcaneus (heel bone), tibia and fibular (leg bones).
2955 Joe Beaumont (T1 category paratriathlete) finishes the swim leg and makes his way on crutches to transition and his bike. Joe completed the sprint distance in 1 hr 47 minutes.
Joe says that In March 2011, "A piece of protection I was using to anchor my rope failed whilst abseiling off a rock face. I sustained a broken Tibular, Fibular and Femur, my elbow was ‘smashed to pieces’, two fingers where broken, one of which was almost removed entirely, Suffering head and facial lacerations, in which my lower lip was ripped in two.
It is only due to the sheer skills, determination, stoicism and love that Emma gave me in that long hour before help arrived that I am here now.
I was air lifted to Whitehaven General. Screws, plates and rods and 4 pints of blood in 6 hours of surgery and several days in Intensive Care. And it was only then was I safe.
It was expected that I would be recovering in the ward for 6 – 8 weeks. I was at home in less than 3 weeks. Wheelchair bound but not permanently, I am recovering well."
This morning I went for X-rays and a visit to the orthopedic surgeon. It has been two months since I broke the tibia and fibular on my left leg in a motorbike accident.
I was praying that I could loose the aircast and the crutches, but alas the Doctor says I shall have at least another 6 weeks (possibly 10). He is pleased with the progress and the leg is healing. However, an open (compound) fracture of this nature does take a little longer to heal. When I had the surgery the surgeon said it would take about 18 weeks, but somehow I thought I could get along a bit sooner than that. In this picture you can see the titanium pin with two screws in the ankle and a screw in the knee. The fractures on towards the left of the picture. So sorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken using my cell phone (not exactly how one should photograph an X-ray).

2955 Joe Beaumont trades crutches for a bike ... sorry, trike. Nice lightweight metal frame ... the trike looks pretty good too! He completed the run on crutches. Incredible!

This is the X-ray of my left leg taken 11/6/07... (over three weeks after being hit by a car on 10/12/07).
I took this picture while it was up on the backlight.
There is an acute, nondisplaced laterial tibial plateau fracture identified. There is some fragmentaion at the level of the articular surface and subchondral region with a large amount of bony edema here as well. There is also associated bone edema involving the proximal fibula, though no fibular fracture is identified. There is a small joint effusion present with no Baker's cyst. There is a tear of the medial collateral ligament with diffuse thickening and increased signal involving the femoral insertional fibres compatible with a grade II injury... There is no meniscal tear.
Four days later when I went to the othoropedic surgeon, they listened to my complaint of pain in my calf. *SURPRISE*!!!! My fibula was in two seperate and not equal pieces.
This is Addie, who plays some great soccer and has a wonderful time chasing her older brother around the yard.
Fibular head (By Joseph McCaleb) - Often associated with pain mistaken for ITBS at knee and often do to hyper pronation
Bi-malleolar fracture right ankle. Comminuted fracture of the lower end of the right fibular and avulsion fracture of the medial malleolus

My friend L-Dub's ankle as shown by the magic of X-ray. On my birthday last year, he refused to buy me a cake. Later that night, he slipped on some ice and broke his ankle. Coincidence?

I leave for Pietermaritzburg on the Power jet in a little while. It is going to be fun at the mighty men of God conference! I'll send some updates as I can.

bi-malleolar fracture to right ankle, fracture shaft of tibia – lower third, comminuted fracture of the lower end of the right fibula and an avulsion fracture of the medial malleolus.
Lateral approach to fibula
Fracture exposed
Butterfly fragment fixed to proximal fragment with 1 x lag screws
Fracture reduced and held with 9 hole DCP as bridge plate
3 screws proximally
3 x distally (distal most screw as syndesmotic screw into tibia)
Medially fracture exposed and reduced fixed with 2 x 4 mm cancellous screws
Proximal Fibular Osteotomy is an operation that removes a 2 cm segment from the fibula bone. It is done to provide pain relief of medial compartment knee osteo-arthritis. It is a minimally invasive day care procedure which requires no implants, and has very few side effects. It can be done by itself or be combined with biological treatments to provide a more predictable pain relief. It has bio-mechanical proof. Patients can stand up and walk by the afternoon of surgery, climb stairs the next day and stand for an hour or two within three or four days. It has been shown to provide by itself for a few years. It can be considered as an alternative to knee replacement for those who have medical comorbidities, economically weak or are very busy to be able to afford hospitalization and rehabilitation for a knee replacement.

Skeletally near-mature (the proximal fibular epiphysis is still just open) patient with parathyroid adenoma and multiple pathological fractures related to brown tumours from hyperparathyroidism. Background osteopenia.
This patient had an ulcer over the lateral malleolus and a plain film was said to show "two lytic lesions" consistent with osteomyelitis, as shown by this RaySum image from a subsequent CT done to evaluate the extent of the bone abnormality. Note the subtle "bend" in the fibula just above the ankle mortice. CT images show no evidence of lytic lesions in the lateral malleolar tip, but a somewhat patchy trabecular pattern, and an old, healed oblique fracture of the distal fibula which probably explains it. The larger of the lytic lesions likely represents the fibular fovea, and the smaller likely a composite lucency due to the altered marrow appearance.
Matthias - on his way home (with a torn fibular-tendon). It get to be known here in Therwil (where a I almost every friday because Lias has 1h of athletics, and I get 1h of strangerportrait hunting) because I explained to Matthias what I do here and he said - Yes, I have seen you before.
Today I thaught there would be no strobist picture - I opened my skyport case and there was no trigger and two receivers misssing - slepping at home in my other bag. So I had to change plans. For some reason I quit unusually had packed to Canon flashes (usually one flash is a Nikon SB26 or so) - so I thaught of having a master and slave (SM Flash :-). I just had to fiddle with the softbox holder to let the 430 see the master and check my position before shooting, so the master hits the slave. The background is a building site walkway.
Making of here.
Light: 430EX ETTL mastered by a 580EX on camera (not firing), 60cm Softbox with grid (to prevent spill on the background) from 8:00 and ½ CTS, ambient dropped 2-3 stops manual exposuring the camera.
By the way, I filled up the missing South Africa safari pictures from 20.July -27.July 2011, where I had no Internet and computer.
20.7.11, 21.7.11, 22.7.11, 23.7.11, 24.7.11, 25.7.11, 26.7.11 and 27.7.11

my right foot, 2 weeks and a day after surgery.
it's ironic to me that there were 13 staples on my fibular ankle...13 being a number of much significance to me.
How is possible to get some assistance to medicament my son's leg or how well be the schedule for treatment.
Multiple irregular linear hypodense lesions in the right lobe of the liver of this 4-year-old girl are indeed compatible with lacerations from blunt trauma (compression or shearing injury). However, it takes a significant force to do this to the liver, which a simple fall is unlikely to produce. The stated mechanism of injury was not consistent with its severity and pattern.
The child was screened for other injuries. The ED physicians who examined her were struck by her "eagerness to please and unnatural co-operativeness" (their words). A bone scan found evidence of a rib fracture and distal fibular fracture (both healed and radiographically occult).
A diagnosis of NAI (non-accidental injury, i.e. child abuse) was made and the child was referred to social welfare services. She was from a lower socio-economic background and lived with her mother and de facto step-father. This is unfortunately a very typical profile for such cases that attend our institution.

Yesterday I had a slight fall while walking the dogs ... thankfully we had only just started walking and were only a 100 yards or so from home ... a trip to hospital this morning resulted in my leg in plaster ... can't drive for a few weeks ... don't quite know what I will do about work yet ... a slight fall has resulted in lots of problems which we're slowing working out :o)
This shot was taken by my talented daughter Lucy :o) x
