As most of you already know, my brother broke his arm two Friday's ago at his work Christmas party. He was arm wrestling, something he will never do again. He has since then had surgery to fix the bone. A plate , 12 screws and about 38 staples later he is on the road to recovery. The doctors say he will gain full use of his arm again and that it will be stronger than ever with the plate and screws holding that bone together. He will be back to working out in a few weeks. Thanks everyone for your prayers. If you have a weak stomach, no need to proceed, these pictures are graphic.
This is an x-ray of the bone. The top left is his shoulder, the bottom right is toward his elbow. I am sure you can find the spiral break for yourself. :)
After surgery, in the therapists office. You can see the bruising, staples and how massive that scar is going to be...
