He didn't mention plates. Dr. is very smart guy but was poor at describing the injury in simple terms. Seems like it will be pretty routine though. The impact fractured several other bones in the hand in a pattern that is not really typical. I am getting a 2nd opinion tomorrow just to be sure. If left untreated, it can cause arthritis later, which I don' want.

Thanks for the offer. I was planning on just taking it over to Travis' and getting some guys to help out. I haven't told Travis this yet.
