 Poster: A snowHead
|
After a completely otherwise innocuous pre-release and tumble I found myself with ring finger dislocated (titanium ring on it ugh) and only after xray a fractured little finger metacarpal.
Apparently need to have the fracture checked on return home - i.e. monday.
No great pain.
Tedious.
Experiences?
Prognostics as to when I can reasonably expect to ski?

Used to do that with monotonous regularity when playing volleyball ( I used to play National Division 1 in the UK and Division 2 in France). After losing one ring due to having to have it cut off, I stopped wearing any for matches or any sport, including my wedding ring. As a left-hander it was a wee bit more of an inconvenience, but if you are a right-hander, then splinting it against its neighbours was about as technical as it got. As soon as I was "released" I used a soft squash ball to exercise the fingers to prevent them seizing up.
As for skiing, I used to switch to a mitten on the affected hand, it did not stop me at all.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Theses tend to do well but you must follow advice to get it moving, especially the dislocation.
The knuckle will be quite swollen for a long while and probably not ever get back to normal.
This may mean getting the ring on difficult.
Wait a few months before getting the ring enlarged.

@Jonathan Bell, thank you. Getting the ring off was trouble enough!! It was a little over sized anyway

I am aware of an F1 racing driver who drove a race with a recently acquired metacarpal fracture, he placed quite well.
It was quite sore though.
