more cool gory pictures
Behold!
My hand, in before and after pictures. See if you can spot the "scaphoid non-union" in the first photo - it may take a bit of a look, as it appears to be two bones to the untrained eye. I mean, I certainly didn't see anything particularly unusual until the doc pointed it out to me. Note the small segment of my radius scraped out and inserted into the scaphoid in the second photo. Really cool that you can distinguish the individual pieces of the grafted contraption, and that the shaving was significant enough to stand out as a lighter patch on my arm. Do note that the doctor chose not to wire or screw the contraption together... and that pin is eventually going to have to come out. Last and not least, a shot of the stitch-work on my arm. I am almost disappointed - it was a neat job, and it will probably leave an insignificant and unnoticeable scar.
