Humerus fractures - recovery periods?

Recommended Posts

Unfotunately I'm going to be out of training for a prolonged period due a 2" spiral fracture of the right humerus, just ebove the elbow joint. I'll be in PoP for at least six weeks (unless the first check-up shows a plate op is necessary) followed by a bit of physio due to having an immobilised elbow whilst the PoP is in place.

 

I've heard a few horror stories about this type of break, including mends so flimsy they can rebreak simply through climbing rope ladders as well as stories of nerve damage that can greatly reduce the mobility in the hand itself.

 

I was wondering if anyone had experienced a similar injury, and if once recuperated were able to continue with their chosen MA without undue concerns or any repeat of the injury due to mechanical weakness?

 

And how long was it before you were able to resume MA training?
