A happy new year to all on the forum.

A patient I saw today has been diagnosed as having a T12 STABLE crush
fracture and presents with controllable pain level, full range of movement
with minimal pain at the end ROM only. No neuro/ referred pain was assessed.

He has been told that he will not be allowed to play contact sports for 12
months. What do other people think of this? I would have thought 12 weeks
and a graded return to be appropriate. Any article references?
