    So it could go either way now: simple fracture and a cast, or there's additional tissue damage that would require something more invasive like surgery, but again, the lack of swelling is encouraging.

Ah geeze. I'm really pulling for the "simple fracture" team.

I'll spare you too much elaboration via my own experiences (which mostly revolve around breaking my left wrist radius and scaphoid within exactly 1 year of each other), but when corrective surgery comes into play, I think it's over-prescribed except in obvious circumstances. Just make sure you get several professional opinions.

Good luck. Just know that if you get hardware implanted, you will likely feel it for the rest of your life, especially if you ever decide to GoBro5000 and lift weights like you were training for the zombie apocalypse.

What I mean to say is... keep us updated. :)
