This last week my girlfriend was involved in an accident where a car T-bones her car. Result was a pelvis broken in 8 places, several broken ribs and lots of cuts and bruising which will result in a couple week stay in the hospital and rehab. They did surgery and put in some screws, along with some external fixators that will be removed later. The screws are suppose to stay in. When I asked the doc about future diving he said sure in 6 months or so. Who knows if he understands the diving issues really.
First question I have, and another friend brought this up, I didn't see a problem with it is will the screws cause any risk or trapped gas pockets or any issues? 2nd I will need to ask the doc about but if there is an ortho doc maybe he can advise. Weight on water entry and getting out the water. Is that an issue 6 months down the road, to much for the pelvis?
