[QUOTE="fragildan, post: 389243, member: 29755"] I was in 3rd gear doing a long setdown wheelie. started going over, went to tap rear brake, missed said brake with my toe and did a very slow flip. maybe 20 mph. thought to pullin clutch as i was going over and at least try to catch my bike. when my left toe hit 2" of my big shin bone shattered below my knee. bottom half of my knee was shattered. broke little bone in 3 places. This was a slow get off and I beleive I've tripped over curbs harder. I've had 4 surguries and 1 more possible. My dr. says my boots sent the force up as all the shattered stuff was at the top of my boot and above. The Dr. says braces would have done nothing to prevent any of it. he will not prescribe braces for me. he seems knowledgeable as he knows the names of most of the brace companies and has worked on other motocrossers. He says the pros wear them for the endorsment money, just like a jersey. I to thought braces would have helped. but I'm so confused I don't know what to think any more. I'd pay for braces myself if I knew they would help, but I haven't in person or on the web seen one dr. say they will help. I'm looking at 6-12 months recovery over what i consider a minor incedent. It's really a bummer, but I'm as confused as everyone else. [/QUOTE]
