When I broke a bone in my foot and seperated my shoulder I went to North Penn Orthopedics in Lansdale. They've been around for years and have a good reputation.

How bad and where is the break?

I ended up using the Rothman group in King of Prussia. I saw Dr. Barbara Frieman. She was very good! My prognosis is a quick recovery. I am already experiencing improved mobility and strength one week from the fall. No cast was needed as I have a very minor fracture. She said I can still run, bike on the trainer and swim (if its not painful). I have run and bike so far with minimal pain. The big test will be Monday when I hit the pool. I may just do some kicking with a board I'm still sore.
The best news of all is Doc says "Don't count yourself out of Ironman just yet!"
Now I have only another 2 weeks to heal but she thinks I should be fine by then
