Fractured scaphoid bone in DDs wrist on Saturday at practice (glove hand). Urgent Care doc said just a sprain after x-rays on Saturday afternoon then got a call back on Monday saying Radiologist ordered CT Scan. CT scan revealed the fracture and after 2 hours with orthopedist today we left with this. Ortho says 6 weeks in full arm cast, then 4-6 more weeks in 1/2 arm cast, then rehab. All happened doing a simple pop fly drill in the blink of an eye. Needless to say we are all pretty bummed!!! Apparently this scaphoid bone is pretty important and doesn't heal easily. Anybody else have experience with this type of injury? Words of encouragement? She hasn't been out of softball more than a month in the past 4 yrs so we are still in shock.
