Two pins down through the metacarpal-V(thumb), huh Sarge?!Yep, you have about 6 weeks with those babies stickin' out of your hand, alright. And, a couple more weeks after that in order to stretch out the tendons so you can have complete movement again.
And nope, if you're wonderin', I'm not a orthopedic doctor or anything. I know the above because I broke my metacarpal-I(pinky) bone about 20 years ago and had those pins inserted in to my right hand too.
And nope, I only WISH I could say I broke mine riding a motorcycle.
Let's just say I used to have a REALLY bad temper, and one day a certain co-worker who constantly failed to do his job "kind'a" p*ssed me off a little too much, and I looked at this wall that I was standing next to and imagined that wall was his FACE!!!
(MY orthopedist told me it is known in his trade as the classic "Boxer's Break")
