evening….

off to the hospital on thursday to (hopfully) get my wrist fixed and be on the road to getting back onto my bikes (after nearly a year 😕 )
any one had their wrist done? how long was your recovery and how long before you were back on the bike?

cheers

Anyone? !?

How did it go? Mine is shagged and needs reconstruction.

I had my ankle done a couple of years ago. I am sad to say that it didn’t work, possibly because I rushed the recovery. I am due another, much more serious op latter this year.

Do as little as you can for as long as possible.

Well it seemed ok…. now however I have to go back to the Dr as its now, 11months after the op, as bad as it was 😥 I am hoping that it is the ligament they left unfixed as in their words ” oh its a big ligament and should be able to cope with the damage to it”… hmmmm

The operation they are planning for me is to drill a hole through my radius and to graft a tendon from my wrist and attach to my ulna. The surgeon has done two of these in thirteen years. 😯

Is it worth the risk I wonder…….

Been there, done it! (read from the bottom up)

Hammy… what kind of %success were you given? Mine was about 60 which at the time seemed ok. Therealoops I remember reading that, difference was that mine is all ligament damage. Got told it would have been better to have broken it…. not in your case tho

We haven’t discussed % success rate yet because he is yet to review my latest mri and ct scans. It all depends on how ruptured the tfcc is apparently.

Good luck to then….

Cheers. Are you due anymore surgery daft?

Won’t know till the 28th. Bloody hope not!

Coz mine was sooooo busted I made the decision making process easy for them. I broke it in Oct 2012 and today I finally got signed-off 8)

Fiiiiinally !!! 8) is it all back to full strength now?
