Mark,

It looks like your bones are lined up nicely. How are your tendons and ligaments?
I hope your recovery is going well.

Alignment does appear pretty good. At the same time that kinda looks like some barbaric torture device. Hope it all grows together nice and smooth.

That X-Ray should be used as the warning label on every paraglider sold.

Sooner or later...

Now give me some oxy-whatever! Evil or Very Mad

It all stays in! Unless the bone doesn't get proper blood flow. Will know in six months. Worst case, bad blood flow to the bone, they will take the whole thing out and replace with a fake ball and upper arm.

Seems to be healing nicely. No tendon or nerve damage.

Actually its all done for extra power for next years Blowout race! Twisted Evil

Kind of wonder if it will trip the metal detectors at the airport?
