Satou Kazuma Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Will update. X-rays showed a small chipped bone on one side and a cracked bone on the other.
midnight Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Sorry to hear that. I was so hoping this was going to be a Zeni post, so I could ask if he broke it whackin it. In any event, sorry!
Satou Kazuma Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 I fell off a 4 ft step ladder 2-3 feet off the ground after losing my balance from not stepping off properly at work.

Satou Kazuma Posted October 5, 2018 Author Posted October 5, 2018 Just got discharged. They have me in a splint for now. 2nd opinion will be decided next week once I visited an orthopedic clinic. For a moment I was afraid I might have to get surgery. Since the injury happened right along the elbow with the big bone and small bone joint area.
DragonSinger Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 That sucks. I hope you don't have to get surgery.

Satou Kazuma Posted October 5, 2018 Author Posted October 5, 2018 Diagnosis: right radial head fracture. I now have 2 different appointments at 2 different places in the following weeks. 1 from the health clinic that the hospital I went to straight from work after sustaining the injury and the other my employer's occupational health clinic specialist.
Satou Kazuma Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 looks like i do need surgery on the arm, because that tiny bit of bone and cartilage is blocking my ability to bend my arm since it's lodged between the joint.

Satou Kazuma Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 It's a small step ladder. Not sure what the policy is for that thing. Other than try to be safe when using it as with all other equipments. Highly preventable had I dragged this other step ladder from the other side of the shop but that ladder I was using was closer in proximity. Not much of a big deal since it'll heal fine after removing the said broken piece of fracture bone and as a precaution they're going to screw the the other fracture part down to heal it faster. And my workplace is covering the medical costs with workers comp.
scoobdog Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Well, not to get you unduly worried or anything. If your company issued you a handbook, you should check just to be sure.
blueraven1999 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 That's too bad. I hope you feel better soon and that your surgery goes well.
Codename: Jackass Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Sorry about your arm, but now is the time to embrace the D. 1
