Ever bust your scaphoid? It's a twat of a little bone with poor blood supply that holds onto lots of ligaments for you and helps you grip. Bad breaks can be hard to, or never, heal*.
If you ain't raced or ain't broken it, or like some of us have done and raced with a broken scaphoid you don't really know what your talking about.
*Wales & Lions scrum-half Rob Howley had to hang up his boots because of a 'non-union' in his right scaphoid.
