My guess...and I have no professional basis for saying this, is they will not be able to properly evaluate the situation until the swelling goes down.

My guess...and I have no professional basis for saying this, is they will not be able to properly evaluate the situation until the swelling goes down. Nailed it Chev. I am also not a professional but am adjacent to more than a few and asked them about it. Here’s the treatment and diagnosis steps. 1) X-Ray and check for fractures. If fractures everything gets messed up for return in less than 4 weeks. 2) heavy ice and anti-inflammatory treatment. With a grade 3 contusion they may even inject cortisone. 3) ultrasound to see obvious ligament/tendon damage. Not super reliable. 4) Continue inflammation treatment and checking ligament (flexation and extension stuff and maybe more US) 5) If pain and swelling is not improving after 3 days they would consider a CT on an athlete with a tight return schedule. But yeah they said they wouldn’t make a guess on return time for 3ish days. They did not recommend playing anymore this weekend as the risk of persistent injury or additional damage is high. |

Fingers crossed.... but it doesn't look good: /photo/1 The good news is that the swelling is up around the metacarpals and not around the hamate bone. A broken hamate would mean about 2 months of recovery. A broken metacarpal is 3-6 weeks. |

What’s your specialty? Unfortunately, the md are just my initials, and I didn’t stay at a holiday inn express last night. However, I do work in orthopedic sales so I’m familiar with the physiology of the hand. |

Clearly a goose egg. They are almost instant and look much worse than they are. Blood flows through and fills up to form the goose egg. The good sign is there doesn't appear to be any additional swelling around the goose egg which would be expected from a fracture. Still will need to confirm with x-rays.

The irony of dealing with a goose egg after giving the goose eggs a five game goose egg over the last two weeks. |

Reminds me of a game I had back in high school, when a teammate hit a foul ball off the top of his left foot. Goose egg and everything. Left the game and went to the hospital. Good news was, it wasn't serious and he was able to play the following week. So, here's to hoping.

Considering he didn’t come out of the game and took the field in the next inning leads me to believe it isn’t fractured. Putting that mitt on must have hurt a lot though, but a fracture would have been worse.

Putting that mitt on must have hurt a lot though, but a fracture would have been worse. I could see him staying in even with a fracture for an inning like he did. I think it's too difficult to make a call without either putting hands on Boyd (as the trainer did) or with X-rays. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there's a fracture and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it's just a bruise/contusion/whatever. Either way, he should probably reset and ice it for a couple of days. Gotta find his replacement. |

During freshman year football our eldest son managed to get his hand mashed between 2 helmets. His hand ballooned up like Justin's right away. Following a trip to Kaiser urgency care we came home with a soft tissue injury diagnosis. He was on the field for the next game. Hope that is what Justin has.

Parker says X-rays negative. No break! Hearty Thanks to all of the BH chat board Fi-Sick-ians that correctly diagnosed the "No-Break" scenario. Can't wait to see Justin sooner, rather than later. |
