Broken Wrist Thread
- Thread starter Boostpig
- Start date
my left wrist is double plated and i had a trimed plate in my right wrist. when i did my right wrist i had a thermoplastic brace but no cast. i still went to the bmx track when it was broken, mostly manualling but a little jumping. i could still manual medium/large doubles. but it probly isnt the best idea. i always have had good orthopedic surgeons and kinda headed their advice.

I dislocated and snapped in half my left radius around 2 and a half months ago.
You never appreciate how lucky you are to have the privelage to ride until you have been seriously injured. Since my recovery period I cherish every ride like it could be my last!

I broke the growth plate off my ulna, i didnt need surgery, they managed to manipulate it into place (not fun ) and then i had a cast on for 6 weeks.
After i got the cast off i wasnt suposed to ride a bike for 4 weeks but as soon as i got home i went for a ride up the street, being carefull not to crash and it was all good. After the 4 weeks i started to ride DH again and havent had any problems scince.

I broke my collar bone, and it was displace by 3cm. I was in hospital for a week and got surgery to insert a titanium rod through the centre of it. The doctor recons the bone will be healed in 5 weeks and the rod gets taken out in 5 months. Im not supposed to ride for this time as it will shatter not break if i put it under alot of stress while the rod is in. Considering selling my bikes so they are not just devaluing while not in use.

Yow! That first one looks bad.
Last year I snapped 1 bone and fractured 2 in my left wrist, was all out of whack. They did an operation, and 8 weeks later, the cast was taken off. It still had a massive kink, the cast had left room for the bone to move back out again.
A second operation, 3 pins, and another 10 weeks and it was fine.
Then this year (3 months after recovering from the previous one) I fractured my right wrist. Luckily it wasn't that bad, only took 8 weeks to ride again.
I think I may try to be a bit more careful, 2 wrists broken in less than half a year...

12weeks i think. will be sore for a while. i wore wrist braces and they helped heaps. the 661 long ones. check the website.

Ive broken both wrists 5 times each + broken my left scafoid twice and my right scafoid once, numerouse broken and dislocated fingers. Ive disocated my shoulder 3 times in the last 12 months and am still recovering from torn ligaments in my ankle after a major crash at mt buller back in march, which resulted in an ambulance ride off the mountain and 8 weeks in a moon boot. Also spent a total of nearly 7 months in hospital about 5 years ago and nearly lost my left leg after nurmeouse surgerys after a dune buggy i was in rolled, i got thrown out and then it landed on top of me!! Know i have a massive scar that kinda looks like a shark bite in the inside of my thigh. CAN ANYONE TOP THAT??
