yeah, compound, if your going to do it, mite aswell do it properly, surprisingly didn't hurt that much, more just amazed that my arm was dangling around!
its been a month since i did it now and i still got no strength in my hand, and can't fully straighten my arm due to the plates and amount if scar tissue.
anybody else been through similar but with arms?
EDIT : i got the x-rays aswell if anyone is interested
