Pin removal (Boxer's fracture)

[The32694]

I have a boxers fracture and I've had it now for couple of years don't ask me why, but I was wondering if it is possible to get my hand fixed after all this time? Any information would be appreciated

[The32694]

@Uppercut98 they would have to rebreak it, and if that wouldnt work they would do surgery and break it all up

mine took much more pulling hurt quite a bit

[n050up4u]

wow 8 months later i notice i didnt say how long it took to use my hand normally.. that was like 3-5 months. lots of physical therapy and the fact that my fingers werent perfectly aligned afterwards. Sometimes i still feel mild pains in my hand on top of my middle finger knuckle and i didnt even fracture that one.

@n050up4u got malrotation? that ain't good. I'm mainly worried about the looming possibility of arthritis in later life as a consequence.

[n050up4u]

@MrDoriefs From the way it feels, it's possible that those 2 knuckles may develop some kind of problem past middle age, but so far they just make strange popping/crackling noises that are just a bit annoying at times. Only happens if I fully extend and flex them though.

@n050up4u hey do you always get pins 4 this or what becuz i fractured mine but im waiting 2 go 2 an ortho 4 a cast



[n050up4u]

@Dillonscballer Depends on the angulation of the injury and the severity. If it's just a fracture then yes, pending on your choice from the options given. I believe in some cases you can even get taken into the OR to have them do "internal work" where the job is more than simple alignment and pins. Took me a bit too long to reply so hopefully whatever happened for you, hopefully worked out well.

dayum...how long did it take from when u got the pins put in place to when u were able to use ur hand again normally cuzz i got the same thing going on right now

[n050up4u]

@anklebreaka03 Surgery to removal.. About 3 weeks I think, give or take a few days.
