[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 399379, member: 25436"] Hey 1A, Hopefully your break wasn't that bad, and it healed pretty quick. I'd be careful though if you're going riding tomorrow - that'd only be 7 weeks out. I'm still wearing my figure-8 about 90% of the time at 8 weeks out. I agree strongly (contrary to statistics the doc gave me) that it's a better way to heal the bone compared to a sling. I think it's the only way to pull the broken bones back enough so that they are half-way aligned. I broke mine in 2 places, same side I broke 20 years ago. At 7 weeks Doc said I have some "bone glue" forming, which has stopped the movement, but it's still a long way from hardening completely. Trying to see if insurance will cover at bone stimulator to help speed up the process. Because of my age (38), compound break (x-ray looks like a letter "Z"), and breaking it over an old break, the blood flow to the area isn't that good, hence the slow progress. Glad you healed quick, but make sure you don't take a hit on that side until it's well healed! :scream: Ride hard, but don't take chances! - Bill [/QUOTE]
