I'm just recovered from wrist fracture at radius after closed reduction.i'm 22 and an aspiring bodybuilder.is this injury affects my career in future?

Optimistic : Having a closed reduction on the radius fracture sounds like a very stable fracture to begin with. If you can rest and follow up with the orthopedic surgeon i don't see any reason why you couldn't get back to competitive lifting without any consequence. The key is to rest and follow your rehab.
