Fracture of the lateral tibial plateau
Hello again
This is still about a man who was run over by a car and ended up with a fracture of the right lateral tibial plateau, with residual impairment following surgery.
Here is the context:
Il le reverra le 23 février 2010:
L'appui n'était toujours pas autorisé.
Il lui était demander de commencer à avoir un appui.
I understand that in the first instance this = Weight bearing was still not authorised, but what about the second example? Does this just mean a support of some kind? i.e. walking stick.
Thank you for any help!

support, crutch
Thats a tricky one for sure, crutch came to mind as soon as I saw the question, maybe cos I use one!
Note from asker:
| For Tony: this chap was actually issued with two underarm crutches:) but these involved no weight bearing. |
