1:52 How many degrees difference should the two insisted x-rays be? 7:03 Stanford lets us have differential diagnosises so no answers are ever wrong and my friends from Berkely say I'm not learning right from wrong ...
I have a non displaced metacarpal fracture. It happened 6/22/24; I start the police academy 8/5/24. Do you think I will gain function and be healed by then?
In an adult it takes approximately 3months for a bone to heal to the point where is essentially back to strength. So, for you, nearly, but not quite good to go. Best of luck👌🏽
i just got my plaster removed for a metacarpal fracture, and i can not close my hand or bend my fingers a lot so it is hard to do the first and third exercises but hopefully i heal properly and get back to my sport!
Doing much better, back to sports and pain is much less. still a little problem with bending the fingers and forming a fist but I'll be alr hopefully, thanks for asking!!
Have any advice for somebody who wants to strengthen their metacarpal a year later? I just want to keep my bones healthy I’m a boxer and would love a reply or any advice. (Broke my 4th metacarpal about a year ago when I was drunk and repeatedly punched the ground)
Anyone here broken their 3rd metacarpal bone??? I did just last month was told it was on a 20 degree angle had a cast put on and was sent to another hospital because apparently i needed surgery according to the first hospital... well when i went to the 2nd hospital i was referred to by the first hospital that dont have plastic surgeons the one i was referred to cut my cast off done a xray and when results came in i was told i didnt need surgery which i was very concerned about it considering the first hospital told me i needed it long story short they put a splint on and i have to have it on for 2 weeks then go back to the 2nd hospital to possibly have ot taken off and do hand exercises which is in a weeks time but when ive taken the splint off for showers ive tried to do similar exercises to see what would happen... for example i clinch a fist not fully tight but just lightly and my index finger and middle finger are very tight... is this normal? Just concerns me as i do muay thai kick boxing and i dont want it causing me any problems in the future im not aloud to punch with it for 3 months of course but even after the 3 months im concerned its going to give me grief... even knowing my index finger and middle feel tight while lightly clinching a fist is that just normal and does it go away? I hope so... was also told ill always have a lump in the middle of my hand which i dont like to look at lol... thanks.
I was diagnosed with a non displaced 3rd metacarpal and was also advised that I don’t need surgery. I’m scheduled for an appointment with a hand therapist. I also am in martial arts and broke 2 cinder blocks for my 2nd degree black belt. As a result I’m now dealing with this. I’m hoping this will be a fast recovery!!! When it first happened I still could close my hand but not tight so I’m hoping that’s a good sign!!
This is not negative, but really sad that I can find a better Way to go simple exercises without editing a month for an appointment. Especially when, personally, you feel like you haven't gotten the proper help. Thank you Soo much for these exercises. I broke my knuckle in my pinky finger, "boxer fracture,," as well as shattered the middle of my middle finger, and due to a full on disagreement with the Dr. at the time I have been left without then pins in the final 3 weeks,( personal decision, on me fully) but was left with no info at all on what to do once/,if it healed properly. No matter how late I am, Thank you for this video!!!
Ex Athlete/coach here I was breaking a fight up between 2 of my dogs and got bit through the top of my hand and out my palm just behind the top of my middle finger knuckle by one tooth. I don’t have insurance so I’m winging it. I have a very high pain threshold but I was literally kicking my leg like crazy in the utility room because I didn’t want to scare my 2 young girls 7-9 but the pain was very intense. It’s been 8 days today and the wound is finally kinda healed still a droplet of blood on the band aid I can bend fingers but can’t close my fist completely and if I touch the spot of the wound it’s still pretty sensitive. My fingers feel kinda stiff and dry also there’s some odd sensations but not too often. I’m worried it could be a flexor tendon but hoping it’s internal inflammation or something like that ANY insight would be so appreciated. I can’t afford to go to the hospital I recently lost my insurance. I’m worried I could lose range of motion or in my hand or worse. I took some antibiotics from my nurse sister it was Doxycycline bc she didn’t have Amox culvate. Any advice,any info,any words of encouragement would be great. I hope everyone going through these similar problems heals up well. *Is it very odd for a deep puncture wound dog bite like this to still be sore and as I described even after a week. I’m a slow healer in general but I just thought I’d be further a long after 7.5 days. If there’s a email I could send a photo to I’d truly appreciate it.
Dog bites are not only the obvious skin wound, but also the crush injury between the dog’s jaws. FIRST, you need to ensure that you do not have an infection; infections secondary yo nite wounds can become very nasty, even limb/life threatening. Second, you need to ensure that you do mot have any injury to deeper structures (tendon, nerves, bones, etc). I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you seek medical advice. There must be hospitals serving uninsured patients? Best of luck🙏🏽
@@MEDICINEinaNutshell I did take antibiotics for a week 100mg Doxycycline but I know you’re right I need to go to the Dr. it’s just very expensive and I just paid a large bill from a bad Covid case. Is there anything I’ve mentioned that worries you as a doctor? I feel like ligament between my thumb and wrist is sore I could some of the swelling inside cause the tendons or ligiments to be feeling sore. Do you have a way I can email you a photo? I appreciate your response thank you
Best of luck. We all have done silly things under the influence of overwhelming emotion. The past cannot changed, so concentrate on the present. Hope your hand gets better.
Great informative video! I will share amongst the Diep facebook group where there are always lots of questions regarding this. I had my DIEP a year ago and met up with a previous DIEP patient for a coffee to get this information. I also think that the video should include a section on the mesh that is used, many people nowadays are vegan, it is another question to ask the consultant. I also had protein power drinks before and after which definately helped the healing process. Maybe a follow up video would be good for when patients are back home on tips and expectations eg how to get comfy in bed, tips for stairs, showering eg using a towel dressing gown instead of a towel, stiff arms, nerve tingling etc?? The avatars are great, I recognise some of them too, well done 🙂
Thanks Jane. Perhaps you can help us to disseminate the video (and the rest in the series, when are uploaded), so that more ladies hopefully benefit from watching the video? If this suits, perhaps you might contact me on sanjib.majumder@nhs.net 🙏🏽
@@MEDICINEinaNutshell I am in med school 2nd year (out of 6 in my country). I would like to know which subjects at med school you consider the most important for surgeons? I will have to learn them all, of course. Rather those I should know inside out.
Hello, I suffered a boxers fracture almost 7 weeks ago. I fractured metacarpals 4 and 5. I had to get a plate surgically screwed onto metacarpal 4 due to excessive angulation of the fractured bone . According to Xrays and my doctor I have fully healed and have been advised to wait until week 10/11 before beginning training upper body. How would you suggest I reintroduce myself back into training upper body strengthening my hands and forearms?
Once you have healed completely (usually takes 12weeks in an adult) there should be no particular restriction, but I would restart with light weights and then graduate up. Hope that helps.
I'm a speech therapist learning how to use a hemostat safely to change tracheoesophageal voice prostheses to help my head and neck cancer patients. Dr. Sanjib/Dr. Chad, is this how I hold a hemostat at 1:28 too, please? Using my thumb and ring fingers, stabilizing the tool with my middle finger, and using my index finger to direct, grasp, and pull out the voice prosthesis, eh?
Hello Dr. Please i have a question , a fracture in the 5th metacarpal with a 35~40 degrees angulation of fracture needs a surgury to install the pins or it doesnt have a surgury, Why i’m asking this because i had this fracture 5 weeks ago , now i removed the splint and doing these exercise but i noticed that the knuckle is not visible.. will it come back again and heal ? Or i should’ve done the surgury?
I had surgery twice. The first is for my appendectomy, and my appendix had ruptured without me knowing as I have relatively high tolerance for pain (running on 4th day before I decided to see the doctor). The nights leading to that, I was having difficulty sleeping (1st night, waking every after 3 hours, then the following night every 2 hours, then the third night every hour). When I was on the operating table and the spinal anesthesia was administered, all the discomfort I endured went away, and I just fell asleep. When I opened my eyes I was already in the recovery room. The 2nd surgery years later was for my choledocystectomy. This time I was administered general anesthesia. That really hurt as it was being administered, like your nerves were being pulled out as the anesthesia spread from my IV cannula to my hand, then lower arm, upper arm, shoulder, then after that I was knocked out. I woke up at the recovery room with the tube still in my throat.
Is this type of suture removal painful? I’ve had a C-section a week ago and my appointment for suture removal is day after tomorrow… I’m really scared 😢
