I broke my 5th medicarcul(sp?) back in September, actually it was a compound fracture and I didn't get the surgery. I sure wish I had because I'm still having issues with strength and flexibility.

Get the surgery to correct if they advise you to.

you might mean Carpel? metacarpals are the bones in you palm. metacarpal #5 i beleive is the pinky palm bone.
carpals are the bones of your wrist. breaking carpals can be terrible because some have a single directional blood supply, when you break it. half of the bone can die and then be left in your hand. requiring surgery to remove and making some movement painful.


back on topic that stack sounds pretty bad:surrender: . i hope you had a role bar of some sort! hope your wrist heals up well also!

I just did the same thing Sunday (well kinda anyway). I was cruising around on dirt doing 180's, 360's and the like and I flipped it :innocent: (as in dent the 'cage and take the paint off hard). I hurt my hand (sprained pretty bad) and went into shock after I crawled out. One trip to the ER later (to make sure nothing was broken) I was all good. I figured I'd post it here 'cuz I immediatly thought of this. Is this sport dangerous: yes. Is it worth it: :censored: yea!!!

Well thanks you two and yea, I got lucky (this time anyway). I'll try to get some pics....just looks like a scuff but it was enough. You just about healed now or how are you doing? Apparently, I'm not invincible even though we all like to think that sometimes. ;)
