← Return to Carpal Tunnel after wrist fracture: What is your experience?

I fell while ice skating and broke the radial bone. The orthopedic doctor said he wouldn’t do surgery to insert pins and plate to move the bone back, as he felt it would return in place by itself in a cast. Well, it almost did, but not fully. That accident happened in January 2022. By November that year, I had had developed carpel tunnel nerve impingement and had a surgery which corrected the nerve pain. Now pain is resolved, but there’s a bone spur on my wrist bone that ultimately will need to be dealt with. I’m waiting until the steroid shots no long work before I have another hand/wrist surgery.

That sounds pretty consistent. I believe that the position is to try to get the bone back in place without more complex option that comes with surgery.

I appreciate your sharing and hope everything moves forward in the right direction for you!
