He has a cage thx. But being manual (it is his left wrist) he can't use the gears so I am driving him.

He did try to reverse it out of a car park today. One of the boys squealed.

Hey take it off and then learn when he loses the full use of his arm ... bloody hell ... the cast is there partially to immobilise the thing and allow it to heal ...

**Swoop** · 30th May 2007, 21:04

Seen it several times before with sporting injuries. Cutting the cast off so the owner can go and play...

Don't bitch when it dosen't heal properly and causes further pain later on.

And then you have to go back and have shitloads of surgery...

Got a mate with a permanent bent wrist coz he took his cast off... he went to lean against a door and busted it without too much pressure at all... a couple of years of surgery... yeah he's happy he took his cast off...

Can't get a clearance to race so you might as well get a new cast on.
Heal well so I can watch the racing later on. Cheers

If the cast is a split cast, it should only be a temporary cast anyway. In other words, if he is supposed to be in a cast then the one he currently has on should be replaced with a permanent fibreglass. If he is not supposed to have a cast on after the current one has been on for a short time, then once removed it will stay off. He should have an orthopaedic outpatients appointment booked - if not, ring and make one. They will either take it off and replace it or take it off and leave it off.

In other words, as a split cast it is only temporary anyway, and should come off. The question is whether there is an orthopaedic reason for him to actually have a cast on and only an orthopaedic doctor should make that call.
