A member asked:
Thoughts? could my wrist ever be normal after being fractured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be, if fx was --: Relatively simple one, without needing any procedures, except splinting/casting for up to 6-8 weeks, and once healed + pt & that should result in a normal wrist. Complicated fx needing appropriate treatment including surgery can also result in a normal or near-normal wrist by experienced hands.
