Specializes in Hand Surgery

Fractured wrist: Penny wise and pound foolish, one might say. A fractured wrist in anyone needs care. Just think, orthopedic surgeons take at least 5 years of training, hand surgeons an additional year of training, and even then a few years of practice after training lilkey adds to the depth of knowledge. What we say is " all fractures typically heal" the question is what will it work like when its ​done.

Wrong place to ask: This is the public HT forum where volunteer docs answer health questions. We cannot see uploads of any x-rays, lab, pictures or other data. We do not provide private consultations. You need to locate a local clinic that offer sliding scale or free services. These are often affiliated with medical schools or family medicine training programs.
