DN 15 has fractured her kneecap in several places after a skid on her mountain bike. She has undergone surgery and has four (possibly five) pins in place.
She's a very keen athlete and cyclist, and was hoping to be able to compete in various local and national events. Does anyone know the rough time frame for recovery and return to normal/physically demanding activities for a young teen? Anyone had this experience or similar?
She's super fit, very positive and wants as many facts as possible to manage her expectations, so I'm trying to assist with that.
Thanks all - apologies in advance if I don't reply for ages, I'm just about to start work!
