At least your fracture was a relatively clean break along a bone.
The worst are the compound fractures on a joint, like what happened to my right elbow.
Even after a year of physio, I lost around 45 degrees in my range of motion. I also hear an audible click each time I twist my arm as the scar tissue snaps against the stainless steel plates. Because my bone was crushed into around 20 pieces, it never fused together so I had to undergo a bone graft 8 months later.
Thankfully, my bone has healed so I'll be able to climb this summer.
