Aloe111 5th Gear December 8, 2019 Share December 8, 2019 (edited) I had the unfortunate experience of fracturing my collarbone after a bad fall while skiing yesterday. Local A&E took xrays, put me in a shoulder brace and gave painkillers. I'm enroute home, and planning to visit SGH A&E after I'm back. Meanwhile reaching out if anyone has any advice or info on similar injury, recommended hospitals or orthopedic surgeons, treatment, physio etc. Thanks Edited December 8, 2019 by Aloe111 Edit speling ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u need a shoulder surgeon to assess you, let me know, my good friend is one at CGH. Get well soon! Edited December 8, 2019 by Lala81 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic December 8, 2019 Share December 8, 2019 (edited) Clavicle fracture, any orthopedic surgeon can see and fix most things. Anyway not many ones are recommended for surgery in 1st place. But there are some orthopedic surgeons who do mostly upper limb, shoulder surgery as their sub-specialty. Since you are going to see orthopedics, probably see them better. Edited December 8, 2019 by Lala81 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodooman Supersonic December 9, 2019 Share December 9, 2019 Sorry about your misfortune. Hope all is well. A few years ago I injured myself while at Tahoe. Used to ski once every few years, closest thing to flying. As I get older and become more kayu, decided to give it up. Lol. It could have been worse and I thanked my lucky star. 😓 I am hearing at least one such incident every Hokkaido winter. 2 friends broke their legs, a cousin his upper arm. Just a function of Niseko being flooded by Singaporeans? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
