Thank You all so much for the words of encouragement,it really helps. Though I've pretty much been a lurker,I am allways inspired, enlightened and get my fix from the AZ. The fracture is displaced only 1mm and will not require surgical stabilization. There are no detectable tears in any ligaments at this time. The cartilage will most likely need an arthroscopic cleaning after the fracture heals.
good luck with the recovery. nice that there were no ligament tears.
