Snapped My Collar Bone In 3

Recommended Posts

Haven't been on the forum in ages, but the other day i snapped my collar bone and mashed my shoulder up pretty bad, its been 1 week, and its killing me, i am constantly bored, so looks like I'm going to be spending more time on the forum again.

I did it pretty bad, the point of impact was actually behind/on top of my shoulder, so rather than a clean brake it was ripped off with the force, doctors said leave it for 6 weeks and see what happens, my tendons/ligaments SHOULD pull it all back together, but so far it hasn't gone well, as they had allot of damage too, but if its not doing well then at 6 weeks i will have to have a load of metal into my shoulder, witch will make the whole process longer.

Anyway heres Pics:

At least ur ligaments and muscle was left to pull it back >_<

Thats the problem, its still exactly the same as day1 so i made a appointment at the trauma clinic for Thursday, looks like an operation is needed, my GP definitely thinks i need one as my collar bone is still sticking out. will have to See how that goes.

Yummy :ermm:

Were you riding trials or BMX when you did it ?

'Least you did it properly :)

Big breaks heal much stronger/nicer than hairline cracks (or so I'm told).

Granted - it'll put you out for longer - but still... :P

EDIT: How did you get the X-Ray pictures?

I want the ones of my finger.

Shit Leo. Epic.

Where and how did you do it?

Ghetto park, its near the train station, 1st run, not checking the ramps, drop in, nice over-click turn-down 1st , then went to land nose down over second set to , usually use 2nd as a pump box to get speed for 3rd, but top of the landing a piece of wood about the size of a eating tray was missing , and front wheel went straight into that, and i was going real fast, so straight over bars and my shoulder hit half a brick, witch put the most unusual indeed forces on it. When i landed i REALLY winded myself, so couldn't really comprehend what happened, but got up, and curled up into a ball for ages, wrapped in hoodies shivering, then tried to ride home, but i could feel the bones rubbing together, wasn't too nice, got to the hospital, hoping it was only a dislocation, saw the x-ray and almost cried.
