He’s no Kevin Davies then is he? I’m fairly sure if players can get a mask and play with a fractured eye socket then a little finger shouldn’t be much of an issue. Strap it up and carry on. Or perhaps he’s fucked up his holiday booking and goes away this Friday instead of a week on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It's actually a broken 5th metacarpal. I'm dure if it was play offs or a final he'd be reet. I expect he'll be on the bench & it opens his place up to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the rule used to be you can’t play with strapping on a bone on the hand. Not sure if that’s changed Either way final game is a dead rubber Even if he was fit I’d give someone else a run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted April 25, 2022 Members Share Posted April 25, 2022 As you look at your palm your metacarpal would be in your palm but it’s the conjoining bone to your little finger What the fuck are we doing??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying the metacarpel isn't part of your finger is like saying "the femur isn't part of your leg, as it's in your thigh". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes it’s the medical way of identifying exactly where the injury has happened If I read a fracture of the fifth phalange I would know this refers to the protruding part of your finger The metacarpal would be the bone in the palm area. If I was told to assess the fracture in the finger that’s quite open to interpretation as to what has been fractured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say he was lucky to only damage his meniscus, either side is your cruciate ligament. Rest Ice Compression Elevate 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The metacarpal are the bones which run from wrist to knuckle. The finger nobes start after the knuckle. They're the bones you can feel along the back of your hand. The 5th is the one running toward your little finger. It's easily felt for and is above the pad of the hand. His injury is said to have gappened when his hand caught in the shirt of an opponent. Given that it's said to be broken, not dislocated, that suggests a pressure break/snap as the hand was forced back. It's a 2 week in a hard casing and up to 6 weeks to repair. It's not life threatening but I bet it's sore A good chance to play someonecelse instead of the Powder Puff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Lots of anatomical discussions on here tonight. Based on what's been said my conclusion is that people across the hill in Blackburn must have six metacarpals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
