Fractured 5th metacarpal

2017-05-24 00:12:40
I got an x ray and I have a crack in the base of my fifth metacarpal. Thus crack does not go all the way through the width of the bone. When can I play baseball again/swing a bat with live pitching.

Any fracture or even crack takes at least 6 weeks to stabilize. You should avoid sports for about 2 months.
