Early-80s for me. On the Electra at the time.
Overnight in the local hospital (surgeon preferred a general) then out for a day's work in the office.
Climbing up the ladder into the bird in the wee hours was a bit tenderising for about a week (and I had a moderate flying workload that week) but then no problems thereafter (in several areas, I might add).
Probably would have been more sensible to have taken a week off, with the benefit of hindsight, I guess, but it was not a major sweat at the time .. but, definitely, very tender with walking performed ankles well spread ...
