Recovery: 9 year old has slight limp 9 weeks post femur fracture

[Libby321]

Thanks so much for sharing your story. My 8 yr old son, Cameron, broke his left femur (spiral fracture post/pre surgery pictures below) two days ago. He was transported to Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando, FL. They have an amazing group of Physicians and Nurses. He had surgery in which they placed two titanium pins into his bone. He has been cleared to come home after seeing the physical therapist today. He did very well on the walker - made it all the way to the nurse station with his upper body strength and his good leg. He is small for his age, but such a tough little guy! He will have a one week post op and then we will start the long road to recovery. He is extremely active and plays on a competitive soccer team. I am very concerned about the long term affects of such an injury, but after reading about your Jacob, I am feeling much better. I hope that Cameron can get back on the pitch and keep on doing what he has come to love.
