Yeah thats normally the case and what I was told on mine. I have no idea what this means. LOL

It can be slow to heal because of the limited circulation to the bone. It receives its blood supply primarily from radial artery, lateral and distal branches. Fortunately, it is relatively difficult to break, but is the most commonly fractured bone in the carpus, particularly because of its unique anatomy and position within the wrist. Approximately 60% of carpal fractures are scaphoid fractures.

The scaphoid primarily receives its blood from the distal end. Improper healing after a fracture can lead to avascular necrosis of the proximal segment, and increase the likelihood of osteoarthritis.

Fractures of the scaphoid must be recognized and treated quickly, as prompt treatment is the key to proper healing. Delays may complicate healing. Even rapidly immobilized fractures may require surgical treatment, including use of the Herbert screw to bind the two halves together.
Damn Denny, you must be going to med school! That sounds just like my doc talking to me, and it does not sound good....

EVERYONE says that TripleFive, trust me, ive researched it enough on the internet to know exactly how it broke.

i was 4th WFO on a 125 at LACR and the sweeping sand berm blew out and i did a full front flip and landed on both wrists/back, i wasnt able to ride for a few weeks. it hurts when i try to lift weights or push ups, but not when i ride my dirt bike.

WOW.... I was told that a lot of times they can't even find if it's it broke with an X-ray, they need to use an MRI. If yours was really broke, you wouldn't be riding your dirt bike and you would've seen a Dr. by now.

Thats not true. I raced the rest of the 90 Nats and 91 SX and Nats w it broken. It sucked. I could barely hold on some days but when a doc tells u that itll be 6 months off and at the time thats what I had two diff docs say, I just kept racing thru it.
The way our Dr. talked about it, it's a really bad bone to breck and it's pretty important to have it repaired properly. I guess when you're racing the Nat's you suck it up a little more than when you're just racing for fun locally.

How's your wrist today?

Its good. No pain or anything. I finished my career with it. It doesnt have full mobility now and I have to do push ups on my knuckles, but its all good. But I agree, if u know its broke, you should def take the time to get it fixed asap whether ur racing for fun or to make a living. I made a big mistake racing w it broke. Id come in after a 35 min moto and couldnt even squeeze a pop can. But somedays it felt better than others, so oh well. It was a waste of a year of racing. Hindsights a bitch. LOL

Mr Davis, LOL I feel your pain.

no everyone runs to the doctor the minute they have an owie. Even james didn't. sure it hurts, he sacked up and raced through it.

many do that.

of course lets not forget how it happened. I don't "dislike" james but he put himself in that position and damn near hurt partridge badly in the process.......

so not alot of sympathy in this camp.

i shattered my navicular bone in my foot last april. its a bit worse than the wrist due to being a weight bearing bone. it has to be the worse bone to break. i still limp. it still hurts, i cant run, i cant ride yet and doc said it will be chronic pain the rest of my life. i'd take another blown out knee anyday over a broken navicular in my foot.
Possibly you are referring to the talus? That is the rocker bone in the ankle, which provides dorsal movement. The talus is one of three bones in the human body which have poor or no blood circulation: talus, navicular and hip ball. Each of these three are candidates for AVN (avascular necrosis) when subjected to trauma.


Hope you heal up

LOL Im far from a DR. I copied that from somewhere. But I def know this bone and the right and wrong way to fix it. Well maybe just the fact that u should get it fixed. LOL And yeah oldschool, thats me. No plans for a return to LL except maybe to hit the beer tent and creek. Smile

My god you are a tool. This is the bullshit you tell some bimbo at the ski resort while you've got your leg up in a cast, I'm sure it looked a lot more spodely than the way you describe it. If you were shredding berms tapped out in 4th you wouldn't have to tell everyone how gnarly you are, we'd already know.

Dipshit!

Karma's a bitch! The AMA didn't have a balls to suspend him for unsafe riding and being an idiot in the pits, so the Karma gods stepped in.
I do wish him the best in his recovery, and I hope he ponders the A1 events while he is healing.

I think James will be alright with this injury but it obviously will take a little time to come back from. An athlete of his caliber will get extra treatment then what we would rolling off the street.

For example Andy Bell (if you consider him an athlete) broke the same bone just months back. With some help from a bone growth stimulator, good doctors, etc. he was back in no time and still did a lot of stuff with a custom cast/splint on for their season 2 of Nitro Circus while the bone was healing.

I broke mine too, had surgery, cast for 6 months. Rode for 1 season and was still having pain, went back to dr and got xray.. The threads on the screw had worn away the inside of the bone like a file and the whole bone looked like swiss cheese. Had a graft from a piece of bone from my arm and another screw inserted then 6 months in a cast and no riding for a year. Started riding again this year and re-broke it again going through a turn, didn't fall or anything, just hit a breaking bump. Not sure what to do now, it doesn't hurt all the time, only when I bend it and when I ride.. and its' my throttle side.. damn!!! Doc says only option left is just to fuse it.
