Broken wrist. I did not recognize the term 'osteosynthesis
surgery' but that means something like 'patch':

For that wrist to work normally without pain they have to remove all of that metal and all four screws or else arthritis will occur later in life. Nibali isn't a spring chicken and should have known a lot better than trying to catch himself with this hand rather than just using them to deflect himself into a rollover.



"later in life"



How late? That image is my very own bionic upgrade from
2006. After the first year I don't even notice it. Same
experience for me in every stainless bone patch.
