A member asked:
How much successful the closely reduced wrist fracture is if there is only a 1-2 mm gap in comparison to normal wrist.will it affects in future.i'm 22?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 mm ok: We usually strive for alignment within 1-2 mm, but it depends upon where the 2mm gap is located. Also important in wrist fractures are measurements like volar tilt, radial height and radial inclination. Your ortho doc should be able to help you with these issues.
