well went to the dr on friday and i found out that the finger hasnt started to heal at all, the tendon is stuck to the plate, the bone hasnt even started to heal back together, PT is doing more harm then good. as soon as i get a call from the dr when the appointment is i will be heading to Burlington VT to have a "hand surgeon" do another surgery on my had!
sorry for the crappy cell pic, but you can see the plate and where there is no bone formation at the break.
the PT said they will not schedule any more therapy bc its not doing any good, i hope comp doesnt try to fight this bc now i am off with out any pay at the moment bc now i cant even get unemployment after this week

o feeling is back about 90%, but bad thing about that is with the feeling comes all the pain. i asked them to just cut it off and they will not do it, it will be less painful if they would but they cant bc of comp. good thing i bought my gf a gps a few months ago. we are going to need it.lol i have never been to VT

looks like all the pieces fit together properly, you just have a small bone chip missing i think, but yes get a 2nd opinion

well went to the 2nd op. in VT today. i have to go back in 6 weeks on nov 22nd, to see if the bone is healed by then, if it is they are going to go in and remove the plate so i can get movement back in my finger, right now the tendon is stuck on the plate, but the bone isnt healed so they cant remove the plate. if its not healed by the 22nd then they are going to go back in take the plate out and replace everything and put diff type of plate in. and hope to remove most of the scare tissue around the tendon. either way im either looking at one or two more surgeries
