MMA after metacarpal fracture.
Hey guys. I’ve been training BJJ for awhile now, and used to train boxing in my teenage years. I’ve been keeping up with MMA for a couple years and always wanted to branch into the sport and planned to towards September time.
However, about a month ago I fractured my 3rd and 4th metacarpal on my right hand (my dominant hand). As a result I have two sunken knuckles. About to go into rehab to get it back up to strength and so I’ll be out of all combat sports for a couple extra months just to make sure everything’s fully healed, however, my doctor has said that there’s a chance knuckles will stay sunken.
So I wanted to ask if anybody trains with sunken knuckles and wether they caused any serious problems! Also if anybody has any rehab advice for getting my hands ready for striking again I would appreciate it.
