Trapezius? Blimey, good effort chipping your back! But seriously, sorry to hear about the trapezoid fracture, same one I fractured. No surgery, but healed well and I've never had any issues with it since.
trapezium (rather than trapezoid or trapezius!).
Good job you got that MRI Moose!As I said in the YYFY thread I had a kind of burst fracture of the trapezium in my left hand that the consultant was not optimistic about but my hand adapted to it without medical intervention. The enforced rest sorted out a finger problem that I thought I was stuck with too.
IIRC your trapezium was completely mashed wasn't it?
I'm not sure if that means the prognosis is better or worse - sometimes these more "subtle" issues can have treatment problems out of proportion to their seeming severity!
My fear is that consultant will advise surgery if it isn't necessary (or vice versa for that matter). Is it presumptious to assume that orthopaedic surgeons always think orthopaedic surgery is the best option!?
I often wonder why we ask about injuries on here then ignore the advice.
QuoteAh well... at least I now feel better informed about my situation... and the w eather is too hot for climbing anyway (mind you, it's too hot for walking too really!).When you originally posted myself and others said don't climb until further investigation. This isn't meant to be a personal dig but I often wonder why we ask about injuries on here then ignore the advice.

This isn't meant to be a personal dig but I often wonder why we ask about injuries on here then ignore the advice. I was expressing a slightly self- delusional view that I don't miss climbing - a bit of "whistling in the dark". I've been pretty careful with my injury (especially when you consider my NHS GP made no mention of any possible problems after the 'all clear' from the 2nd X-ray). Where have I said that I've been ignoring advice?

Where have I said that I've been ignoring advice?On the YYFY thread I mentioned, as did some others, that it could be a Trapezium injury and recommended not to to climb until further investigation. You then did a Depot session . Anyway not really any of my business I suppose and I was in a grumpy mood when I posted yesterday. Good luck with the recovery.
Tendons - anyone have any useful advice in terms of recovering from partial thickness tears (distal biceps tendon)?

The description of my injury reads unpleasantly but it was invisible to both X-rays and there seems to be little loss of strength in my thumb - it's more of a painful tweakiness with certain grips.
