Wrist Fracture That Healed Wrong Posted: 05-06-07 18:27pm


Hey all, When I was 20 I was involved in a bicycle accident which resulted in me landing awkwardly on my left wrist. I believe I fractured it because every time I bend it I feel this clicking. When I showed it to the doctor soon after the injury he took and X ray and said it was a bruise. Being the impressionable fool that I was I believed him. Now I am 27 and I am contemplating getting a second opinion on this injury from someone more qualified...preferably an orthopedic surgeon. At my age would there be good chance that I could get this injury reset so that my wrist will be aligned properly again? I just want to avoid any potential problems in the future and I feel since I am still young this would be a good time to get it done. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
