I would not be surprised if she was held out for the year. As stated by the Reno Orthopedic Center, "By 6 weeks, patients are extremely comfortable. They cannot be released to full activities such as manual labor, skiing and motocross until about 4 months. Aggressive return to activity too early can result in re-fracture, hardware breakage or nonunion". One reason for this is it is rare to only just break the bone. This is an injury that can involve the bone, meniscus, ligaments, muscles, tendons and skin around the knee. All of that needs time to heal as well. However the outcome, this is all a tough challenge for Paige as well as the team.
