die la like that, it is raining again.......n my bike is wet again....

er joe ask u something, last wk my friend got into a fight at boat quay, afther the fight, his ring finger n llittle finger knuckles were faltten, he didnt felt much pain think ing that it was dislocted, he went to A n E

but the x ray shows his last 2 fingers were actually broken, the part between the wrist n the fingers; the palm area...

the x ray report shows the bone actually snapped into two n one part of the broken bone actually is now poking the side wall of the flesh area but no internal bleeding yet...
anyway the doc put him in a cast n told him to return in 2 wks

my qns is how do casts help in broken bones?

2nd qns, he is a combat driver who has already cross his mileage to convert to civilian license after he ORD, will his license or post be affected..?

In case of broken bones, the fragments of the bones have the ability to re-attach themselves to each other. This is possible becos bones have some kinda of 'glue'. This ability will deteriorate along with age. That's why elderly ppl will have more trouble if they break their bones, as their bones have more calcium than 'glue'. I believe those who attend medical school will be able to explain better Very Happy

Cast helps to hold the bones fragments in place, so they can re-attach properly. Without cast, movement and friction can shift the position of the fragments. If this happens, the limb might not function properly once the healing process is done.

Learnt about this the hard way, broke my wrist in a bike accident. Come to think about it, my 10th accident anniversay should be around next week Sad

ah_tee SG

i see, thanks, anyway is it ture ur hand will b weak even though it heals? hows ur wrist? still can ride?

ah_tee SG

u say leh, duno whether shld get new windbreaker that is water proof or not, my friend bought at LAB for 50 bucks wif arai logo

ah_tee SG

maybe he likes diggin holes?hahaha

It depends on how it heals. If it heals perfectly, the arm/hand will regain its strength completely. Your friend doesn't have to worry if he treats his injury seriously.

For my case, I was quite lucky. My wrist healed to about 98% of its original condition, it's functioning just fine, and there's no loss of strength.

My arm was a bit weak when the cast was removed, becos it's not used at all for almost 1 month. I had to retrain my arm for about 1+ month. Swimming and soaking it in warm water helped a lot. I started riding again soon after. Smile

Hi ah tee,
from what you tell me. It sounds like he has a fracture of the metacarpals the part joining the finger bone and the wrist joint.

Basically , 5th metacarpal ( on the 5th finger) is very commonly associated with punching injury. The surgeon or A&E MO will probably not do any manipulation ( i.e twist the bone) unless the bones are grossly displaced.

If they are agape, most bones have the intrinsic ability to appose and heal very well.

How we treat is to put in a cast (crepe and wool bandage), this ensures the wrist does not move excessively and is done in such a way as to allow the bones to appose( or face each other) so they can heal nicely.

This early immobilisation usu lasts 10 days , but you should get your friends to move his fingers after the 2-3 day to prevent any stiff hand or carpal syndrome. ( due to the healing process being excessive and the latter being due to built-up pressure from swelling).

It's an open fracture right, cos i heard something about a wound. Do be careful they are not contaminated bites and check if the fingers are rotated( rotational deformity.)

If that occurs, surgery may be required. Go back and see the Dr at the appointed time.

As to whether, this will affect his licence conversion. I think vocational or licence renewal is dependent on vision ,or severe medical conditions that affects the ability of the driver to respond. Like epilepsy or diabetic retinopathy. Wrist injuries normally heal well and should not be an issue.

But after the injury , there may be some associated weakness with elongation of ligaments or fascia. you can usu correct that with physiotherapy and muscle strengthehing

What is it you like about gynaecology , i am doing that now. IT IS VERY BUSY.

Rest well.
