A member asked:
I broke both wrists three months ago and because of not having ibsurance til now havent got casts put on...can they still be fixed?

Yes....: You need to see an orthopedic surgeon ASAP and have new X-rays of your wrists taken now. Then, the best treatment options can be determined, depending on what these x-rays show (example: position of the fractured bones, the degree of healing, etc. ). You may also need additional imaging studies. So, see the orthopedist ASAP! Good luck!
