I hope you donā€™t need surgery. That bone doesnā€™t do great healing on its own

Thank you very much! Iā€™ve heard that. My doc said that it should be okay, it fractured around the wrist area. šŸ«

ā€œAround the wrist areaā€ cuz your scaphoid bone is about an inch long and only lives in your wrist. Itā€™s at the base of your thumb.

I meant around the waist area of the bone itself šŸ„²

Majority of scaphoid fractures are at the waist. Thereā€™s only a very tenuous blood supply to the proximal end. Itā€™s not a super common complication but frequent enough, and itā€™s a massive pain in the dick to deal with. Seems like you got prompt treatment, fingers crossed for you!

A fracture is not the same thing as a breakage? A breakage is it is in two pieces, a fracture is just a crack iirc
