You got a boxers fracture on May 1st and your baseball season starts on may 8th and ends June 17th is there anyway you could play this season?
I seriously doubt it, but it will depend on the severity of the
fracture. A boxer's fracture is defined as a break through the
bones of the hand that form the knuckles (usually the head of the
metacarpal). Some doctors use the term "brawler's fracture" rather
than "boxer's fracture" because a boxer is not likely to get this
injury. The less well-trained brawlers have to learn how to punch
without hurting themselves. Using a broken hand that is not
properly immobilized can cause damage to surrounding muscles, blood
vessels, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. When a boxer's fracture
occurs, it is possible for a portion of the metacarpal bone to move
out of normal alignment. This is called angulation. The amount of
angulation will determine what type of treatment is required to
ensure proper healing. People with boxer's fractures who have
acceptable amounts of angulation may be splinted in the emergency
department or doctor's office. Any degree of angulation in the
second or third metacarpal bones is considered abnormal and
requires referral to a hand specialist for possible surgical
repair. Boxer's fractures of the fourth and fifth metacarpal bones
only require surgery if large degrees of angulation are present and
the bones cannot be moved into the correct place by pulling and
pushing on them.
