Well this sucks...
« on: November 20, 2009, 04:55:51 PM »
Go to the doctors because I fractured my growth plate in my thumb, now I'm scheduled for my first surgery and I don't have any knowledge of what it will be like.

I'd speak with your doctor. I always feel more comfortable when I know about the surgical procedure that they will be doing on me. Good luck!

Surgery sucks but it should be a totally different experience for you I had it on my knee.

Its only in the hand right? Then it shouldn't be too bad. Most likely, they'll numb your hand, not knock you out. You may get to watch if you want. :D

When they take the X-Ray ask them if you're going to grow anymore :D

The epiphyseal plate, also called a growth plate, is a plate in your bone that will grow until it merges with the rest of the bone.  Once it merges it is called an epiphyseal line.  The doctor should be able to tell if you have an epiphyseal plate or line.  If it is a line then you're done growing, but if not, then you're not done.  I'm guessing the latter since epiphyseal fractures are incredibly rare in fully grown humans.  Just ask him and see what he says :P
