That is pretty rad!
I was told that proper physiotherapy after the surgery is really important for a full recovery.

Looks like the repair I did on a chair at one time LOL. You did a good job on that one, heal fast.

It's amazing what they can do in surgeries nowadays. I have a surgically repaired wrist after a motorcycle accident that has similar hardware.
It must be cool in the operating room when a surgeon says, "Bring me my toolbox and Dewalt 18v cordless!"

It is very cool. I have observed many surgeries and watching them drill screw pin bones back together was always my favorite. All the tools look just like ones that could be my shop except they are 100% stainless steel. If you ever wondered why there is so much swelling after this type of surgery, I'll tell you. It's because it's not like working on a carburetor all delicate. There is more prying, pulling, sweating and forcing things to go back where they should be than you would ever believe. Orthopedic surgery is rough and tumble, it can be a fight because muscles attached to the parts they are working on pull things out of whack. Broken femurs are the worst. Glad you are on the mend Tony! |

Wow, Chris...I am so glad I read something like what you posted AFTER the surgery. Whew! Therapy is going well...and it looks like I probably will be cleared to ride before the Super Duke gets fixed the way that has progressed...but I have the Valk ready to go!

You have more in one shoulder than I had in both Tony. Therapy is a must for range of motion. I am now the proud owner of two , count them , two titanium shoulders. Permanently lubed. No 10,000 mile service needed.  da prez |

Friend of min went in for corrective back surgery. His lower spine appeared to be wrapped in steel mesh and some serious screws holding it all together. Told him f we were ridin together and I needed a steel screw I KNOW where it was comin from!  He was NOT amused!  Git yerself better and pay attention to the Doctor(s). When I boogered up my ankle last year my Doctor said to NOT displace the fracture cuz That would require surgery and a steel plate and screws and it would take longer to heal. I don't have a steel plate in my ankle. Course my Doctor was a Lady and Darned good lookin-THAT helped!  RIDE SAFE. |

Not to change the subject, but I see they didn't total your bike. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

The first one is a collarbone broke in 4 places and then a post surgery with a 7 hole plate, 6 screws and a lag bolt...I am pretty sure I will be ceard to ride before the Super Duke gets out of the shop...they just submitted a supplemental claim for $1200 on top of the $8400 already approved   I dunno...none of it looks plumb or square to me. Another semester of carpentry school is in order. I got the same set up. Looks like there is some rib breakage there too? |

Im not sure now...they used MSRP for cash value...if it got totalled, they would pay off the note and I would be out my down payment. So, I think it is better to have it fixed and since there does not seem to be frame damage...so far the repair bill is just under 50% of what the purchase price |

I have one of those on the opposite arm... I still cringe when I think about the sound of it snapping.  Glad you're getting better. Listen to the doc... it may feel great as time passes, but don't put more than a few pounds of pressure on it until the doc says it's healed. Oh... and just a heads-up... seat belts like to rub and dig into that plate. In your case, it would be if you're in the passenger seat. Pick up one of those fuzzy seat belt covers from Wal-Mart or Walgreens or somewhere... makes a BIG difference. Well... it made a big difference for me, anyway. |

Looks good an hope you heal fast. I broke my left collar bone in an accident on my Valk 3 1/2 years ago and I still can't sleep on my left side. After a short time it hurts too much. Could be my age at 74 things just don't heal as good. Good luck.
