And other scary complications related to the interrupted blood supply in your wrist caused by the surgery. I had the tendon which pulls the thumb back(extensor polysis longus) snap. Broken scaphoid is quite a common motorbike racer injury which is how I broke mine. Because of the post-op complication, it took 33 months before I could stop going to outpatients and now, 18 years later, I am still suffering the consequences of the damage caused by the injury and by the surgery. It will never be the same again, so take the best care now and do what the consultant suggests.
