Boxer Fracture

[B i C e P HeAD]

I just broke my hand. Landed a bad punch with my pinkie and ringfinger. I dont think im going to get it checked out. i heard theres not much docs can do for it, anyhow. I was just wondering if any bros have had this happen. Any advice on how long it takes to heal, and how long i should stay out of the gym. Sux with summer right around the corner

I got a boxer's fracture by punching a security door HARD while wasted. I couldn't move my pinky more than a couple inches for MONTHS, but I was back in the gym in about two weeks if I remember correctly. It hurt like a bitch at first, then became a dull ache for quite a while, then eventually went away altogether.

It's kinda funny lookin' - the pinky knuckle on my right hand is completely flat .

I went to the doc after a month or two. He said it wasn't worth fixing because they'd have to rebreak my hand and reset it. Other than the flat knuckle it's normal now. It just took a long time to regain mobility. It's just one of many reminders of my drinking days, along with my collection of mystery scars

I would get it checked out don't want it too get flat lol. I did the same thing hitting a wall instead of punching someone except i got a boxer's fraction and broke all 4 fingers and fractured all 4 knuckles. Now my knuckles on my right hand(the one i broke) are close to a cm bigger. It took less than 2 months too heal i think, the doctor is always amazed at how fast i heal last time he said i was super human lol......... i only wish.

If you have a true boxers fracture, if you dont get it fixed, your hand will never be the same.

A broken hand is not the same thing as a boxers fracture, a boxers fracture is where the bone breaks and starts to twist around.

I suppose there are degrees of boxer's farctures. I learned the term from the doc who looked at my hand. It's normal for me now other than the flat knuckle. There's a lump on my hand, but it's minor.
