Don't use your locker with a dead steering box under power coming out of a hole holding on tight,...

Tomorrow I will find out if I need surgery, see if I get some hardware,...

I was hoping you'd learnt that after breaking that stuff numerous times it was finally time for some hydro assist and beefy components :)

And for the record I told you that bone would fuse back together much quicker then you think...

jenssen, i had a break similar but worse. They wanted to pin and cast it. i asked why and they had no good reason. Than suggested casting only, i asked why and they did not have a good reason. i choose 3b cold laser therapy with nothing else. i took pre and post xrays. Healed better than a cast on would have. PM me for more info.

i grabbed a magnifying glass and now see that the fracture extends through both sides, so surgery is a good idea.
Good luck. :)

Good news; not looking like I am going to require hardware or surgery, but "I will never be a hand model" as my knuckle is slightly recessed and won't be as prominent
