Follow up: This would require a follow up visit with the physician who initially treated you for the wrist fracture. Perfect alignment will not occur in just a month, however if there is concern that the bones will not align, then your physician needs to be aware.

Get it checked: Time will not realign a fractured bone. If you have a wrist fracture and it is malaligned, see a hand surgeon or orthopaedic surgeon and a surgical procedure may be necessary to realign it. Some degree of malalignment is tolerable but best to have it checked.
