Broken leg

[byronhaverford]

In technical terms, she has a complex, but nondisplaced, radiographically-occult Salter-Harris Type 3 fracture of her right tibeal plateau.  This is not a surgical lesion, but there is controversy about whether a cast or a brace is preferred.  The seemingly best-informed opinion I have gotten so far suggests that casts can be dangerous on airplanes

I'm so sorry. I hope she's able to enjoy what's left of the trip even if she has to be off the slopes. Good luck.

Sorry, kid. Hope she heals quickly
