Very sorry to hear about your crash & happy that I could, at least, offer some hope for a full recovery. My break was so long ago now that I rarely think of it despite still having the intramedullary rod in my femur. I suppose that fact alone is a good sign :-)

Now, 10 years post, I don't notice any real limitations at all. The only thing that I would add to my previous recommendations is to make it a priority to take the rehabilitation all the way. I did the basic post surgery rehab & began weight-bearing as soon as possible (and as much as possible) but didn't take enough time to bring the injured side back up to the same strength as the non. When I said it took me 12mo to get the left and right side balanced, more honestly it was probably 90% balanced and that 10% made a difference. Consequently, any musculo-skeletal overuse issues I have had over that time have tended to be on that side (lingering ITB issues, tib posterior tendonitis, some Piriformis issues etc).

All very minor when compared to the initial issue but worth keeping in mind as your recovery progresses.

All the best for some speedy healing and a quick return to doing what you love!
