 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
Did this on the first run on my first day in Whistler! had an op in Vancouver to put 2 pins in it and straighten it out last friday - has anyone else had a similar injury (fractured thumb is the none technical term) and how long was the recovery, i'm assuming my trip to Les Coches on the 4th of Feb is a no go but i'd like to spend some time on my new skis this season so hoping i'll be good for march!
Cheers
James

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

j4meseaton, while i understand the risk of further inury and making things worse in the event of another fall, and this should be factored in to you thinking, why would this stop you actually skiing?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

j4meseaton, although I didn't have pins, I did have a fracture and torn ligaments when i went on my very first skiing holiday. After day 1 , I persuaded them to remove the pot, and got a splint similar to your link, but it was thermoplastic. You will need a larger glove, and I managed to find some with a zip on the cuff area. I skied 3 weeks after, and the only thing that hurt was hitting it with the button lift.

My brother did his thumb on the dry slope about a week before a trip but managed to ski with a plastic splint and oversized glove.
I don't think I would let it cause a whole missed season

you don't ski with your thumb, as others have said a good splint , an oversized glove and take a little care...all will be good.... oh yeah and don't forget to tell the insurance man and pay the little additional premium just in case!
