Could a person with this kind of body fracture can walk normal or not anymore?

There is this acquaitance (43 years old) who in January suffered a traffic accident with his motorcycle. He broke his pelvis, fibula and tibia from one leg. He still is healing and recovering. Before the accident he used to surf and practice some kind of Raw Fitness (Street workout). I wonder if when he is completely healed he will be able to surf again or not anymore and what about practice other sports like the one I mentioned.

Iam afraid he will end up limping from one leg and not restore his walking 100% much less surf and do the sports he really liked like Street workout or cycling.

Anyone you know went through a similar experience and did they fully recovered or is not possible as those injuries are very difficult to heal completely.

That's him on the right ragdolling across the countryside , headbutting the ground and then cartwheeling for a few hundred fts before coming to a stop.
He broke 5 vertebrae, and had to bolt 6 of them together T4 to T10 , 2 of which are unstable and could at any moment move and damage his spinal chord , sternum cracked straight in the middle and had to be rodded in place , broke 5 ribs , 2 metacarpals in his hands and needs his hands metal plated back together.

Following the accident he broke the world landspeed record , the speed record for the wall of death , got into 24 hours cycling marathon races and began racing on dirt tracks again.

Can your acquaintance walk normally again , no one knows for sure but I believe if he's like any rider out there he would not let an injury get in the way of him doing what he loves. He will walk again , and he will surf again.

I had a partial tear to my TFCC in a motorcycle accident a few months back. It still hurts when I rotate my wrist to the limits. Just have to find a way to get around our injuries I suppose.

No, he is not a motorcycle rider, he was just going to work on his motorcycle, a drunk driver passed a stop sign and ran into him

My friend fell out of his fourth story window onto concrete. We didn't think he'd ever walk again, shattered lots of bones, pelvis included. Took a while to get out of hospital but he's returned to his old job which was an outdoor instructor. Admittedly he was much younger than your friend.

It all depends on the severity and the person and also their dedication to rehabilitating themselves.

It's most likely he will suffer with joint pain and other things later when he surfs. I dislocated my ankle years ago and it still aches now and then.

Maybe he should ask his doctor or physiotherapist
