Reply to comment by Glad_Safety7418 in Incision in my arm that doctors left open for 2 weeks after a surgery. by soapboxingdaychamp

Both bones snapped by a very heavy object. This was in 2018. Was cleaning out my photos and forgot about this pic.

How long did it take to heal up?

About 7 months. I have a plate on each bone. After the first four months, the bone wouldn’t heal. They had to do a bone graft from my hip. About two weeks of laying in a chair and only moving for the bathroom.

I did the same thing you did, but I didn't have bones pop out thankfully, got a plate and 6 screws in each bone in my forearm. The tendon you see in the pic of your arm, mine is fused to my scar so when I ball my fist or pinch my thumb and middle finger, it pulls the skin on my arm, its trippy
