when i saw it i was wondering whether it had been done at the butcher shop!!!
but i was told there was damage further up the arm.

Thanks, 12 weeks is the expected recovery time, so just in time for next season. will try and get my x-rays and CT-scan on monday to post some of the damage

yeah, that's gonna leave a mark! it should look a lot better once the swelling goes down.
wrist injuries are nasty if you don't let the heal completely. my son raced for about 6 months with a crack that was missed on an x-ray. when the bone finally let go after another fall a real doctor (who found the crack on the 1st x-ray) got us hooked up with a specialist that made him a custom splint so he could get back on the bike. it was kind of cool - molded it with glove on, and hand on the bars. was like $125 for the splint, but it allowed him to stay on the bike. hopefully the winter will help keep you off the bike so you will rest it.

Besides a neat looking scar, and we know how much chicks dig them, the distal radius is straight. That was good work. Good luck on the continued recovery.
