Hey guys I'm new to the site but I have a quick question about 2 months ago I broke my arm really bad and so now I have muscle tendon and nerve damage along with them having to take out a piece of my muscle and a skin graft along with them having to reconstruct my arm and I have a plate and 9 screws so I got a bit going on haha but real question is do you guys think it's a career ender or do you think I can still ride. Thanks
But it sounds like a difficult thing to go through, how old are you and how good are you? Follow the instructions(physio therapy) you get and take the time necessary off the bike and then get back to it when you're ready! Good luck!

Don't ever let the doctors decide your fate. Listen to medical advice, but don't let them tell you you'll never ride again.
Top photo was a week after surgery and bottom one was yesterday looking way better!
But really, there are so many questions that have to be answered before any inkling of a prognosis can be considered. Stuff like this can be very difficult to assess from a few pictures and posts.
One thing on your side is that you're 16.
Get well soon
Definitely do what you have to do to heal up as completely as you are going to get. Then, spend all the PT time you can.
After that, work on adapting to your new set of capabilities, whatever they are. Good luck!
