sesamoid bone
very cool, thanks for the edumacation
based on this, that wee lil floater off the 3rd metacarpal head is likely also a sesamoid bone

my expertise are because i've broken 15 bones. 5 in my face, 2 arm, 1 tibia, 1 rib, the rest were in my hands. the hands were done when i was younger so my experience with reading my own xrays is literally adolescent.
with that said, in my unprofessional opinion, nothing displaced if anything. i circled what i find curious. circled the thumb nubbin just because it is simply curious.
bones take 6 weeks to heal completely. bone bruises can feel like a break, but you can usually get full grip strength through the pain. a proper break will make your hand want to go limp if you try and make a tight fist, even after a week.
immobilise your hand within reason for the next 3-4 weeks (do not ride bikes, from experience, you will displace anything that isn't already and that means surgery to straighten it). then only light pressure and whatnot for the final 2-3 weeks.
the window for a doctor to do anything to straighten displaced fractures is inside a week, after that they would have to rebreak it, which is also very unpleasant. otherwise they're just going to wrap it in a cast.

you want dark and dry. moisture will be what sprouts them, fridges have too much moisture. use a basket on a shelf or counter that isn't in the sun and good air circulation.

happened to me taking a corner in camden on Friday evening, went down like i hit an ice patch. if i didn't have a helmet id have slid a meter or so on my forehead and nose. need to replace that now. pavement spectators were super nice and kind, to the point of a guy handing me 3 oxys...
then an hour later i saw a big guy do the same thing on a corner by tower bridge. he hit hard. it's just plain old greasy out there. i'm real cautious to corner until a proper rainstorm rolls through. careful out there.street sweepers should have a suds setting.
