Hi My son has a spiral fracture of his tibia, which he got whilst skiing 6 days ago. He has a full leg lightweight cast on and he is non-weight bearing on elbow crutches. Do you have any idea when he can return to school, he is 7 years old.
He has a loaned wheel chair as well. He is not very steady on his crutches and needs someone with him all the time when walking. He can manage a few stairs again with support.
His school is quite small with a few steps.
I am planning on going in to his school tomorrow to risk assess with the head (he doesn't know yet)
I am keen he does not miss too much school, as it means I will have to be off aswell. He is not in any pain and is very cheerful and really tries hard with the crutches.
Thanks
