capes921 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 hey guys, 3 months ago i broke my ankle in a summer league game, slid into the boards and bent it wrong. 3 weeks later i ended up getting a plate and 5 screws put in because something moved out of place. i'm just finally getting out of all the casts and braces i had to wear and the doctors okayed me to start skating. i'm riding the bike and doing rehab to get my legs back in shape, but i want to start skating so my muscules can get back in shape by the time my high school leagues start. i play both ice and roller, and i can't decide which is better to start skating on first. any help on what to do would be awesome. thanks everybody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktang 34 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 I did the same thing last Nov., and I was back on the ice early Jan. I made sure to do all the rehab work first, though. They removed the metalwork in May, and I was playing again by mid June. It's much more comfortable, for me, not to have the plates and screws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 I skated on ice to get back, but I was mid-season and not nearly as bad a break. Grab a tensor band for your ankle, only use it for games, it'll help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
