painful little spill/broken clavical update (x-rays)/Before and After

Hey guys. you can now add me to the list of injured riders. I was riding my dirt bike at Perris Raceway, came into a turn way too hot, lost the front end, and was slammed to the ground breaking my collar bone.](*,)

the doc says that im out for at least 6 weeks. cant wait to get back on the bike!!!:?:

DO

 

Welcome, grasshopper

There's lots of us in this room right now... all can't wait to get back on the bikes!

Healing vibs out :bang:

 

Ouch, happy healing!!!!

 

good luck on the recovery. take your rest seriously - it will help healing.

I broke mine in April, but found out 4 weks later that I also slightly tore my trap and should have been resting more instead of getting back on the bike too soon.

learn from my stupidity!

:wave:

 

Oh snap, clean break or fracture?

 

i how how you feel broke mine a little more than a week ago n doc said 10 weeks till im back to full speed hope everything goes well with your collar bone healing

 

clean break

10 weeks? my doc said 6-8. how is it feelin after the first week?

My neck is SUUUUUPER stiff today...ugh. Thank god for helmets!!!

 

well 10 weeks till i can go full speed for football. im a d line and o line player so we get hit on the collar bone area a lot and cus it was a pretty weird brake(it went forward and up). And ya my neck is still stiff after a week(atleast on the broken side). my advise is keep it immobile for atleast the 1st week.

^ my xray

 

R U still in alot of pain? still in a sling?

i cant even dress myself at thus point. lol#-o

 

no pain at all, but i have a high pain tolerance so idk how you'll feel, and ya im still in a sling. i could dress myself from the day i broke it with just a little pain and mainly using my left hand though

 

Update

Turs out that i have a compound fracture and I am going to need surgery! either a plate and a few screws or one big one...anyone here have either of these done???

any good/bad experiences? any info is helpful.

Ouch!! [-o-] coming your way.

 

Grasshopper!

It hurt just looking at that xray! You're young, you'll heal quickly.

:bang:

 

the one injury that just makes me shiver

cool xray though

 

Nice gap !!! You will be as good as new in 6 weeks

 

Some questions?

First, heal up quick!
Second, are the red lines supposed to be connected? Third, What is the green arrow pointing to?



Just wanted to know:?:..

HUGH


Again feel better man!

 

actually doc says no riding until the rod comes back out. 3 to 5 months.

The three red lines on the left should be connected.

The arrow is pointing to a button on my shirt. :lol:

 

Red lines are what's left of his clavicle. I think the green arrow is pointing to a metal snap on his clothes.

...Which is what our victim said...

BTW, you have earned the privilege of saying "I shattered my collar bone". If I ever break mine like that, I'm just going to ask them to replace it with a piece of titanium or composite or something....

 

Thanks!

HUGH
