Long oblique fracture (plus scapula and first rib) from slow speed over the bars to rock. Carl Basamania invented this technique - cerclage wires and an IM nail. 7 weeks post-op today - off to Cham mountain biking in 2+ weeks. Or maybe road biking or hiking....I figure if I can't have fun doing something in Cham I'm doing it wrong!

Collarbone snapage.
Why all the hardware people? Mine was almost compound, right in the middle. Hit a tree, brutal wreck. Yes I have a funny, pointy lump. But no pain from hardware. I'm ten years out and it feels great. Let it knit itself. You are being played by overzealous hacks.

You'd be a fool to do any serious mountain biking 9 weeks out. My PT gave me dirty looks when I told him that I went riding 10 weeks out, on easy trails in Fruita, behind my 5 y.o. The bone is "healed" but at this stage it is weak woven bone. It takes a year for the woven bone to fully remodel into strong lamellar bone. At 9 weeks the probability of a re-break if you were to crash is high.

Without surgery my prognosis was no use of my right (dominant) arm for 20 weeks, 30+ weeks for full recovery, possible non-union, months of "frozen shoulder" rehab, high probability of permanent shoulder dysfunction, and permanent disfigurement. With surgery I stopped using the sling completely in less than a week, had full ROM in 8 weeks, MTBing in 12 weeks, deadlifting 300 lbs for reps in 6 months.
For completely displaced and/or comminuted breaks, outcomes are consistently better with operative treatment. Non-union rates for bad breaks are ~25%. No way I'd risk that. From the other collar bone thread:

Like Dan, my orthopedist and others I work and recreate with all recommended surgery. Mine was comminuted, and I had separated both the SC and AC joints and had a fragment that was augered into my brachio-plexus, which could have caused pneumothorax and limb paralysis if left untreated. Conservative treatment would have been immobilization for 6 months and would have likely resulted in a non union requiring a more difficult and risky surgery. I chose surgery. Stick to talking about things you know about buttah, like Dead shows and acid.

Well, I’m in the club now too. Over the handlebars in a high speed berm to a small tabletop exit. Rode this thing a hundred times...
Left clavicle Broken and a Bennett fracture in the right thumb. Thumb will require surgery.
Curious to see how wiping my ass plays out with only four functional fingers! Only 15 hours in - last night wasn’t awful, edibles ice and ibuprofen helped out.

R hand/L shoulder is a rough combo. I've had a Bennett fx with surgical repair before. Other than the inconvenience of surgery and 6 weeks in a cast recovery wasn't bad. There is some, albeit mixed, evidence that NSAIDs impair bone healing. The safe bet is to use acetaminophen as your primary pain control med and add small amounts of ibuprofen on top of that as needed.

Just had a follow up re: left clavicle, and the doc says it’s not bad, no surgery or sling required (sling only for comfort). Wednesday appt for hand.
Ass wiping was successful today but took 3x longer than usual with limited ROM in left and cast on right. Bidet is now ordered and arriving later this week.
Doc made the same claim about NSAIDs impairing bone healing. All Tylenol and edibles for me here on out for pain control.
