Yeah I'm going in for surgery on Thursday. Bones are fractured in multiple places so I need some titanium plates in there.
That's for the best, considering. My fracture was deemed clean enough to not need surgery, only to be declared a malunion after the cast came off. It needed corrective surgery, plates, the whole nine yards. That took most of last year, accompanied by the legal ménage à trois with my lawyer, insurance, and the hospital. This season I got mobility and strength back to where I am snowboarding again, albeit with a wrist guard under the glove. Still feel a sharp zing sometimes, like when I inadvertently see other people's bent wrists... :oops:

Best of luck with the surgery and recovery, drbionicblast.

I broke a collarbone many years ago and it didn't quite heal how it's supposed to be. I wonder if they can correct it.
My goal is to become bionic man.
When I hesitated about going the corrective surgery route I was told that they are better the sooner they are done and that after a certain time, there is a point where it isn't really beneficial or something to that effect. As part of the reconstruction I am due for a removal surgery in April that should further my mobility and strength.

Got x-ray yet for the new hardware? I want to see ;)
Yes, complete your induction into the bionic race!
