Sneha Mehta, a 28-year-old elementary school...
Sneha Mehta, a 28-year-old elementary school teacher and avid weekend hiker, was on a trail when she slipped on a wet rock, twisting her leg painfully. She felt an immediate, sharp pain and heard a 'pop'. Unable to bear weight, she was carried out by friends. At the ER, X-rays confirmed a displaced spiral fracture of her tibia. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sharma, explained that while surgery was an option, the fracture was clean and could be realigned manually, a closed reduction. Under sedation in the ER, Dr. Sharma manipulated the bone back into place, a process Sneha thankfully doesn't remember. Her leg was then placed in a long leg cast. Over the next 8 weeks, she navigated crutches, frustration at her immobility, and anxiety about her students. However, follow-up X-rays showed excellent healing. After cast removal and dedicated physiotherapy, she regained full strength. The emotional journey was from initial shock and fear of permanent limitation to immense relief and a newfound patience, vowing to be more careful on her beloved trails.
