A member asked:

Do you get a cast for a bone that has chipped in your wrist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Robert Waskowitz answered

Depends...: It depends on which bone is fractured and if there is any displacement or angulation. One bone is important (scaphoid) because of difficult healing with compromised blood supply.
