Hi TQ,
I broke my right femur in a wakeboard accident a couple of years ago. They put a rod in it and four screws (..its still there).
I was out of work for 10 weeks (non-flying job).
I had no problem passing my JAA Class 1 with the CAA a year later. He just asked what happenned and what they did to it!
I don't have any problems with passing airport security which I pass thru quite a bit; but every time I go to the INS (Immigration & Nat. Service) the thing goes off....
The leg is quite good for predicting storms aswell
Hope this helps!
