So, I busted my leg yesterday and they slapped me in a splint at the ER right away to keep it still overnight.
Today I headed over to the orthopedic clinic and they fitted me with one of those heavy-duty Velcro braces—the kind you can pop on and off without too much hassle. My follow-up appointment is set for three weeks from now.

Thanks for the input. Just for context, I’ve been an amateur athlete my whole life; I stay in pretty solid shape and I'm extremely disciplined with my diet. Hopefully, being twenty-three, staying fit, and eating clean will actually give my recovery a bit of an edge.

So, I went and busted my knee :-(

The diagnosis: An avulsion fracture of the medial femoral condyle, but there's no major displacement.

Can someone give me the real talk on how bad this actually is? I need to know what the recovery outlook looks like.

Thanks a ton!
