Bad Break!

SBU DPT Bloggers,

For those of you interested in sports medicine and enjoy watching the pursuits of athletes on the field, here is a bit of a medical story for you to follow. Abby Wambach, a true star in the soccer sports world, fractured her leg in the final match leading up to the Olympics. After a collision on the field, they had to carry her in a stretcher off the field and to a local hospital. Both the tibia and fibula have been reported broken and they are speaking now of a complex surgery, titanium rods, and a long road to recovery.

My thoughts and prayers are with her for a speedy recovery.
