You've got my sympathies.....been there done pretty much the identical thing

Unfortunately I snapped mine a few months after it was fitted so ended up getting another put in along with some more bone grafts

PS: no reason to keep you off a bike either I rode mine to the 1st check-up after leaving hospital....got plenty of looks walking into outpatients in the leathers carrying a helmet and the arm in a movable cast & support brace

Yeah that is pretty similar. Not pleasant at all!! I'll be takn it easy, don't wanna re break it. Plus the wife would be super not happy if i jumped on the bike. Not worth that extra drama!

I shattered the ulna head and upper shaft dislocating the radial head at the same time, damaged the radial nerve at the same time ( I had no movement in my hand for nearly 2mths). Had a total of 7 seperate operations over 10yrs, those included 3 sets of metalware & 2 bone grafts (both grafts taken off the inside edges of my pelvis, both of which were more fuckin painful than the initial injury). End result was very restricted ROM of the arm and bloody awkward sleeping for a very long time and continual phantom pain.
When that 1st plate broke and was started to be rejected the big screw that went straight down the ulna head came out through the skin and was real a friggin issue by itself.....showed a guy I was working with at the time and one look at it and he almost chucked his guts then & there

Shiiieeettttt, that is bad. Okay so perhaps not quite as similar!! Although my radius dislocated it managed to relocate itself from what the Dr said. Luckily all nerve endings etc have remained intact.

Bugger. Take it easy mate, hopefully you'll be recovering soon.

One of the 1st nurses that was looking after me at Waikato Hospital reckoned if it'd been 5yrs earlier it probably would've been an amputation job, I counted myself lucky after hearing that but I when came back down south was lucky enough to get the top orthopedic surgeon for limbs in NZ, he got things somewhere near usable again thankfully...threatened me though with if I did any more damage to it or it took a turn for the worse it'd be either a replacement elbow joint out of a cadaver or artificial but that meant by the time I hit 60 I'd be looking at having the elbow fused with no ROM.
He wasn't pleased to see me again for a greensleeve fracture I did to the same arm a few years after he'd thought he got things as close as he could to a permanent fix.
But that's what you get from using a FJ1100 & MkIII cortina as a launch pad to do a 20m @ 70km/h impersonation of Superman and unintentionally using your left arm as the landing skid on to tarseal
