Chaplain, Major Randy Sellers at Vance Air Force Base, OK, reports on Thursday, April 21, that his wife, Sheila has had a traumatic accident.
Sheila accidentally fell out of Randy's truck and fractured her tibia plateau. She is scheduled for surgery on Monday, April 25, 2011, at Bass Integris Medical Center in Enid, OK.
The orthopedic doctor said the break is one of the worst breaks he has seen in 30 years. According to what Randy said, Sheila will not be able to put any weight on her leg for 6-8 weeks following surgery.
I went on the Internet to find out more about this type of fracture. Here is what I found:
What is a tibial plateau fracture?
The tibial plateau is the upper surface of the tibia or shin bone. It is prone to becoming fractured in high velocity accidents such as those associated with skiing, horse riding and certain water sports.
Fractures of the tibial plateau are considered quite serious as this upper surface of the bone contains structures which are critical to the knees functioning. Hence fractures of the tibial plateau are often associated with injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, collateral ligaments (MCl and/or LCL), menisci and articular cartilage. This damage, although repairable, highly disposes the knee joint to the early onset of osteoarthritis, particularly in younger patients.
Please join Melvine and me in prayer for Sheila Vavak Sellers. She is the daughter of Garry and Bea Vavak. We are believing God for a miracle of healing for Sheila.
