I only know a collarbone takes 6 to 8 weeks, so for your hand, maybe the same?

hey I just fractured 2 bones in my hand (metacarpals)normaly it takes 6-8 weeks to heal, but It took me 3 and a half weeks to get cast off, then I had a removal splint that I was supposed to wear for 4 weeks but took it off after 2. So your looking at 3 to 5 weeks. Just try not to use ut when it's in the cast at all, it will get better.
Hopefully I will be skiing the Big K in VT until January, and the other K in CA for the rest of the season.

its called muscle atrophy, and your hand will smell like shit when you get the cast off

And while you are healing be good to your body. Don't smoke and drink, eat right and down the milk. You'll be good to go soon. You should wait over five weeks though. Bones can start to connect and feel strong, but are still suseptable to further fracturing. I did my metacarpal and it took 5 and a half weeks to be solid.

i broke both my hands last year. and was out almost 7 weeks. I drank lots of milk while the casts were on but still 7 weeks. I was out about 3/4 quarters of the season. its a pain. hopefully yours heal faster than mine. Dont ski until the doctors tell you to. dont fuck it up worse than it is.

i broke three bones in my hand a few years ago, as well as a bone in my wrist (all hairline fractures)... it was unusable for close to 6 months, and i couldn't lift anything heavier than say 50 pounds for the next year without fairly severe pain (i deliver office furniture/equiptment/supplies so that was a big problem). Of course, keep in mind i didn't go to the doctor or get a cast or anything, and I kept skiing and working (pole planting with my left hand was nonexistant for a whole season). I got an xray something like 14 months after the incident. oops.

i bet your better in a month or a shade less. unless you smoke, then your screwed.

This summer I suffered a hairline fracture to the bone right below the pinky finger while mountain biking. I didn't go see a doctor for xrays until about 6 weeks after the crash. It was bad enough that I couldn't do heavy lifting using my pinky finger and I couldn't do any pushups until late October. Even now, if I put pressure on that side of my hand, its not as strong as the other hand. Keep in mind though, that I waited a long time to go see the doctor and never used a cast or anything. Drink your milk and don't do anything stupid, you'll probably be fine in a month.

Work out with you un broken hand/arm...your body tries to stay proportionate so when your cast comes off your muscles will get stronger faster. At least that is what I have heard and makes sence.

Girlfrind or skiing? Damn, so many tough decisions!

I have skiers thumb in my right hand and it lasts all season into late june when I get it, it is a ligament connecting my thumb to my wrist and is the worst pain ever. If I had broken bones in my hand I would def not stop skiing, just make sure the cast is light and rock one pole for gangster-injury.

You got pins in your hand, he's probably only got a bruised ego... I'd say you took the worst of that one.
