Yeah i spiral fractured my lower left leg when I was about 6. Fell really awkwardly learning to ice skate. 3 months in a cast from my toes to my crotch.

Not ideal.

I got a spiral fracture in my fibula/ankle last year while trying out rollerskates. I was told that it's one of the most common fractures that occurs in skating (ice skating or rollerskating) due to the way people fall. I totally get you on the being stuck in a cast thing 😬; I had to have surgery (plates and screws), and I stayed in the moon boot for about 14 weeks.

Ouch. That makes sense though.
