Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 No, not everybody has a splint. Soccer? I'd think at least a month, and maybe two or more. Ask your doc. And although I am a lay person, I hope your surgeon has talked with you and/or your parents about whether you've completed your growth. That can be an issue with someone who's only 15. Perhaps that's all been taken into account already, but it's a good question to ask. I'm not questioning your docs' judgments, but I'd wanna ask the question, if you were my daughter.
