#1 Topic:  Broken Arm
Posted 30 January 2020 - 12:46pm on Snowboard Club UK
Hello everyone, need some advice as don't have many snowboarder friends Sad

3 weeks ago I had my first experience with Snowboard and I think I got addicted to it. I thought that I would spend most of the time on the snow falling but just after 3 hours of classes I was going down the slopes without a problem. By the 3 day I was already going in intermediate to advance slopes. Disaster happened on the 6th and last day, I think due to tricky conditions and also some fatigue I had a big slam and end up braking my arm. Still after getting back home all bruised and with arm in plaster all I can think is going back to slopes.

My question is the following, on the 24 of February I will remove the plaster (6 weeks recovery) and planning go for a long weekend 10 days after to the slopes. Do you think it is ok? I know I should ask (and I will) the doctor but I imagine he will tell me to go easy but the snow season is ending and don't want to wait until end of the year to go back. Have anyone had experience or knows someone that went back after breaking the arm soon after recover?

Ps: it was a complete fracture but a crack in the middle of the radius bone. Also I'm thinking buying Level Half Pipe Gloves that have this special wrist guard protection to be on the safe side and also feel more confident.

Really would appreciate your opinions on this matter.

I'm guessing this might be too late. But, it's your risk to take. I'd advise listening to medial profesionals. Although I never have myself
