I broke mine on the 12 of october and was back to work on 1/1/2013. I was on crutches till last of feb the doc did not think i would get more than 110 degrees total. i pushed my pt real hard and ended up with 130 degrees. I broke the same leg a compound fracture when i was 19 I was in a cast for two years. the plateau fracture for me was a lot more painful than the compound, but healed a lot faster. The doc said i was going to be a good candidate for a knee replacement in the future. all the hardware stayed in. 18 screws and a plate.
