rob I broke the scaphoid in my right hand racing a quad a few years back. I know the feeling. But mine went untreated for 2 weeks because my dads a pain in my butt and just kept telling me all I did was jam my finger and to suck it up, but eventually I had to get it x-rayed and I proved him wrong lol but by then it had already begun healing so I didn't need surgery.
Ok Rob, Here's another one to add to the wrist list courtesy of Cahuilla Creek MX. Not quite 24 hours old.
OK I have been worried...about the potential for a less than good heal at my advanced age............ got my 7week from pinning surgery xray today. DR REMOVED The cast!!! Bone is fusing well with some less than perfect vascular activity (thats what the ultra sound should stimulate see follow on*). I will wear a removable splint for 3 weeks and she/Dr may yank the pin at that time. Plus without the cast... I got to borrow a Exogen 4000* bone growth stimulator from Steve at C&D Cycle San Diego (that was a plug for his business), so gonna get some good vibes from the exogen!! happy boy over here. Keep on dosing hard on supplements and eating well. Should be ready for the fall semester (riding semester!!)
