A member asked:
Can a broken wrist be restored after 2 years?. if yes, how so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, after proper tx: Uncomplicated wrist fracture should not take more than 6 weeks to heal under proper treatment. Hopefully, you have seen an orthopedic after the injury and returned for follow-up. Certainly, unexpected problem may arise due to complications such as non-union of fractured bone, infection or re-injury. You should return for follow-up, if the result is less than satisfactory.
