may be of topic if it is please move it

i recently have a motorcycle accident (doing a willie) on 19 january and result with a wound on my right leg that kept me on bed for almost 3 months (tks god i still have my 2 legs complete)

the wound its like 3 x 2 inches and have 2 x 1 area of the tibia (SP?) bone exposed now already the bone its covered but still in healing process

i had been told by some body that welding could easily cause skin cancer on recently wounded flesh-skin so i would like to ask if sombody of you have some info on this , like so how much time should i wait to weld again (im weekend fabricator) i , wich kind of care take to do it without risk for me

any of you have been involved in something like this?

if you would to like some 35% pics go to

shouldnt you like go to the doctor for that?

my doctor (plastic surgeon) say once it healed totaly
just have it covered with a jean or cloth and souldnt have any problem with UV and Radiation from the welding arc

but im a little eseptic (SPL?) (Reluctant) about this

You're worried about skin cancer and do wheelies on street bikes? Could have been your head. I'd cover it and weld away. I am sure your are itching to do something constructive instead of destructive.

Like it was said, just cover your head with an appropriate material. If your worried about your noggin, find a few pieces of leather and put them over your wound and use a welding hood.

IMO, the best welding protection involves using your head beforehand. :p

Yes I think you might be a little "septic":p

yeap im in the proccess of make 1/4 elliptical setup on my Cj5

and not be aviable to weld will be something really bad for the Project

Man, I didn't know the way to treat bad injuries like that was just to leave the bone exposed for 3 months?????? I would give that a 100% chance of getting infected. You must be on some serious anti-biotics. I would say that welding probably won't do anything worse to that....kinda hard too.

Keep it covered up. Wear pants that don't have holes or anything. Wear a leather split leg apron, or just strap a piece of leather over the wounded area (over pants). The leather's more to keep hot spatter and bb's from burning a hole though the pants and into your bandaging. I know my work pants all get little burn holes on the upper thigh after several months. Check what the bandages are made of, and if any of the ointment or whatever is flamable. Having the bandage melt or catch fire would suck.

just to clarify im on very good (excellent ) medical atention for this wound

there exist 2 tratement that i could have been used

one its cut a muscule group and have it placed over the bone to maintain blood irrigation to the bone and then put over it skin from other part of the body (time aprox on recuperation 1 month )

against this treatament its the lack of movility on the leg caused by taking off the muscule (we could say it will be afected on a 25 %) because of the cuted muscule

on the other hand

the secon option could have been get a more painfuly , complicated , spensive , and large & very new treatament with some medicines used mostly on people that sufer 3rd degree burnings that let the under skin and dhermae (sP?) grow (and in this case cover the bone)

this treatament only have 50% of probability to have success (the time aprox on recuperation 4 to 5 months )

against in case of not having succes we will be forced to to treatament 1

Pros but i will not lost any movement or ability

after make some serious research and take 3 different opinions

we take the risk and choose the second one here a short explanation

first month and a half i be on serious anti-biotics and abuse of Ketorolaco (10 Mg each 6 Hour) sometimes more

we had special care to no getting infected

so i have to recieve 3 large curations every day the first month then 2 per day for the second and only 1 in te third and fourth using surgical looves and surgical equipement to hold the curation materials never bare hands (no water from the bath) special water used on surgical (kind of chlorated water )

i have had the wound cleaned with Mycrocyn (the same solution used to sterilize surgical
l equipement) so no bacteria grow on the wound , but this cause the meat to die slowly and never healing ,to contrarrest this we use some "special" patches called Allevyn adhesive and some gels (ulcoderma, intrasite )to mantain the Ph in the correct level and let the wound healing, and not let the bone to dry , if the bone dry or get infected Bye bye to my Leg , once the bone was covered we let the treatement of the patches and start to use "italdermol" to let the skin grow and shut

(today no more bone its exposed and its almost closed so the treatament its a succcess)

and im trying to be shure what precautions to take

no mater what the doctor say i still get covered if i weld or do some thing with the torch

but i will to know if any body with a large wound have some experience about post recuperation and welding

for shure i would not do any welding until i use bandages this will be when i get fully recovered

either way
thanks a lot


P.D i really try hard to not have Horrors (errors) on the redaction but you undestand english wasnt my principal language

I wouldn't do anything involving open flames, sharp tools, dust, uv radiation, handling heavy objects and general fabrication until my skin had grown over an open hole in my leg but that's just me, maybe I am crazy.

thats what exacly ill goona do

i think i ask incorrectly sorry

what i want to know its what kind of care should i take after
all skin had grown over my large wound (so we are speaking of a completelly healed wound) and i would to continue the fabrication on my rig

well, if it's healed, i wouldn't worry about it as much. Just keep it covered since that will probably be a sensitive area and more prone to hurting like crazy if something hits or falls on it. I would personally make a leather "sleeve" that I would wrap around at all times, from now on when I fabbed.

Have you done any wheelies lately?

ok ill take this opinion and make one leather sleeve

no i dont do willies for now (ride the cycle around the block 10 days ago)

im waiting to be better to try again jejejej (i have been doing willies with almost all cycle i had ) but this Mothe.....er its really big an large so make willies its a realy challenge , with this cycle ive done more of 100 or 120 willies before the accident

i had to make a comination of pull and seat heavy and be hard on the gas
in order to going up and after this maintain a willie beliveme itsnt easy )

so i have had changed the front sprocket (re-gear) from 16 to 14
it make a lil easy going up but hard to maintain a 12 o clock position

maybe i should buy another 750 GSXR no problem to going up any time i would like

or better sell the bikes and never try again (i really dont know if i could , but this would be the best isn't ?

forget the rig, after all the bullshit you are going through, id be welding me a good cage on the bike before my next wheelie.

Sell the bike...Do you have any hot sisters that want to come to America?
oh, I hope the leg heals too by the way.

maybe i should buy another 750 GSXR no problem to going up any time i would like

That's what I would do for sure. I used to have a Katana 600...super heavy and bulky. I had it re-geared as well and it still sucked. Get another GSX-R 750.

or better sell the bikes and never try again (i really dont know if i could , but this would be the best isn't ?

That's up to you...but I don't think I could ever sell my bikes. I'll be riding till I'm not around to ride.

Good luck with the healing...you'll be back in no time.

I agree. Especially the leg healing and hot sisters parts. I'd keep the bike.
