AndyW-inuk > 22Jun2006 - a bad day for me but the Mastiff got off pretty lightly really although a CatD right-off (replacable parts)
AndyW-inuk > MZ mastiff 660 'Supermoto' - I decisded to let the insurance company keep it and not buy it back to repair. Apart from the obvious smashed plastics damage parts included, lower fork leg, scuffed clutch engine cover, dented exhaust can, broken brake pedal, damaged radiator....
AndyW-inuk > Doc....I think my leg's broken! Very nasty open fracture of the tibia and fracture tibial plateau - apparently as I was carted off to surgery the surgeon advised my wife that I might be coming out minus the leg :-0
AndyW-inuk > Temporary X Fix (X-Fix) pending further surgery and fitting of the Taylor Spatial Frame (two studs/pins screwed into the bottom of the Femur and two more in the bottom of my Tibia) . I didn't have a photo of my X-Fix so this is someone elses photo - similar setup to the one I had for 2 weeks whilst stuck in Weston General waiting to get up to the BRI Orthopaedic wards. Very unstable, very painful, with every movement I could feel bone 'graunching' in the fracture site.
AndyW-inuk > A little metalwork to hold the bits together that used to be my tibia! Taylor Spatial Frame, an adjustable (see the struts adjustable in mm increments) Ilizarov circular frame / external fixator
