My 14 year old daughter (XCEL Platinum) broke her ankle with a fall off of the beam at a recent meet (Feb 23rd.) Her foot landed half on the top mat and half off - which twisted her ankle and broke it.
For those parents whose kids have broken their ankles - how long was your daughter out of commission? When was she flipping again? Our sports med doctor gave her a month in the caste/walking boot and then two thumbs up to going full on in gymnastics. I am wondering if that is reality or way too soon.
Any thoughts/experiences shared would be appreciated!
