After his crash last week at Freestone MX in Wortham, Texas, Marvin Musquin had surgery on his hand and thumb Sunday, May 29th, in Murietta, California.
Three metacarpals were broken Marvin's hand, along with the thumb, so the surgeon, Dr Alexander, had to perform surgery - there was no other option.
"I had a surgery on my hand, three metacarpals were broken. The surgeon put screws on each to close the fractures. He hesitated to put in a plate, and determined that that wasn't necessary. For my thumb, it was a little bit different, I had an open fracture, that wasn't beautiful to see. Fortunetely, the fracture was located at the joint under the nail and not at the biggest joint - that would have been worse. In my thumb, just a little plate was enough, no pins. My tendon was damaged, and that was the most uncomfortable. I have seen the surgeon now after the surgery - he was satisfied with the results, so I am too."
