good day sir...I have a concerned in regards if my sister's arm..I don't if it can be heal naturally without surgery. the bone was broken and then the broken bone was placed on beside.
Thanks for this video. I'm a healthy 63 year old woman who slipped on a wet bathroom floor. Had wrist surgery with metal plate and screws one week ago. Recovery is going well. Luckily I live 2 blocks from a premier hospital with award winning Orthopedic department. Thank you Vancouver General Hospital
I’m a 32 years old dude who just had same wrist surgery with metal plate and screws 3 weeks ago. Trust your recovery process going great. If you don’t mind, from your experience how many weeks post surgery does one begins physiotherapy session to regain motion/movement in the wrist region? Also, for how long should one carry the metal plate and screws?
@@nadi8985 Everything is great 3 yr later. Metal plate and screws will stay in place. No need to remove. Hand is sometimes a little stiff in the mornings but that's all
hi doctor thank you for wonderful experience for sharing with us and I fractured my scpoid in my right rest it's been a year now and still waiting for the surgery do u think I should go for the surgery plz plz reply me back I'm very scared I'm 25 years old thnx
This patient absolutely did not need surgery. All that metal adds extra stress to the bone after the healing phase and could cause a break in the foreseeable future. The medical industry really likes to push surgery unnecessarily.
Actually you’re wrong. I had wrist surgery after a bad fracture. I had absolutely no problems. My wrist was good as new within 90 days. Be sure to do physical therapy while still in the cast. I had minimal pain except for two days after surgery.
I broke my radius biking and it was bent and my doctor said it will straighten out as I get older because I’m 13 and he said my bones are still growing is that true
Hello Dr. Knight, Other than Colles' fractures associated with sports injuries, would you identify seniors as being at increased risk of developing this type of fracture related to a fall?
Doctor I have met with le ULNA Fracture at Lt hand wrist point what should be the healing techniques or precautions or How could i understand my fracture is reducing or recovering soon
Sir I have ulna la fracture what should I follow precautions for the left wrist hand side fracture now after 42 days cast now I am under wrist brace observation still little bit swelling and pain please help me about what should I do
What happens if a surgeon has stuffed up a scaphoid and years later it has left the wrist in the verge of needing to be pinned outright. Is there a better option to recover full use?
How long should a patient expect to wait before having surgery on their broken wrist after a car accident? With no other injuries and the patient is a perfect candidate for surgery?
I’m 14 and had to get surgery with 2 pins to hold my wrist in place cause it wouldn’t stay and when I broke the radius the bone moved to the left and was hitting my growth plate so had to get surgery the very next day still have no function in my wrist but I have a 100$ string cast thing that I can take off I also didn’t get a plate my surgeon said if she put a plate in I’d lose all movement at age 24 so she put pins I broke my wrist dirt bike I hit a quad and jumped right before I hit so I probably landed on my arm I don’t know I was completely blacked out from this point on
What are u talking about kids not getting sergury bc I’m 13 and 2 years ago I snapped my left wrist and needed sergury and on st Patrick’s day in 2018 I snapped my arm and needed surgery
Is a Smith’s fracture (didn’t see it here) the reverse of a Collier’s, or is there also a “reverse Smith’s fracture?” An extra surgeons joined in just to see mine (years ago) and I just had an external fixator, 3 external pins at the radius and a summer I can barely remember. Highly sensitive nerve spots. I can still play guitar nearly as well, but I can’t hold up a coffee mug.
Broke my radial bone in several pieces. A couple weeks in a cast seeing if the bones would align and then opted for surgery. I have a plate and 5 screws. Healing is coming along ok. Cast will be on till early June
Falling on street and breaking my left wrist I had urgent distal radius surgery with metal plate and 9 screws in August 2019. Now my wrist is still painful, swollen, my fingers numbed, it is irritating, very uncomfortable. I need urgent surgery to remove the metal plate + the screws and I can’t find understanding for that. Actually, this surgery is a deliberate attempt for torture? Please, intervene for me to have the removal surgery performed urgently in good conditions (Sydney July 2020). I have the removal surgery in November 2020 at RPA Hospital Camperdown, ending 16 months of torture. Many thanks to all who helped me.
thank you so much for this video! I broke my radius playing tennis on Oct. 23. it apparently realined but it hurts so much, today very bad! I get my cast off Monday but it still feels like its burning and at times numb. I am 63 and have bad depression over all this. I broke my wrist, sprained my ankle and got a huge bump on my head and honestly don't feel like I will ever be the same!
I broke my radius and collarbone 7 weeks ago. The worst of my symptoms is my anxiety and depression that I'll never be 100% again. I understand what you're going through.
@@boristhespider4879 I always like follow ups years later I’m only on 2nd day of having wrist surgery broke both of the wrist bones luckily I’m right handed.
Hello Dr. John. I had a surgery on my wrist while l was overseas about 10 years ago where my orthopedic surgeon had to do bone graft to replace some of the bone lost on my radius, and l do have a plate with screws. My question; do l need to remove the plate, and the screws considering that l had my surgery almost 10 years ago? Thanks.
I think my wrist is broken because I have been getting a lot of pain and it has been swollen and my mother said that she won't take me to the hospital unless I lose weight
dr. knight i broke both my wrists/hands in a motorcycle wreck 3 yrs ago, they were never reset...no casr nothing...they are pretty deformed from this and hurt steady, sometimes more than others...i also have nerve and/or ligament/tendon damage...i waited approx. 30 hrs. before going to hospital after wreck and bc of this they did nothing...i never went back....can you help severe messes like mine?
Lawabiding Citizen happened to me dont wprry i got used to it its no big deal no btw i got this on a skateboard same thing visits the dr once and the did fix it kinda they fucking pull my hand and uh its not a good feeling for a fractured bone right the fix it but one of my bones are an asshole and wanna chill not that far but not in his position
Falling on street and breaking my wrist I had urgent distal radius surgery with metal plate in August 2019. Now my wrist is still painful and swollen, irritating, very uncomfortable and I need urgent surgery to remove the metal plate (March 2020).
hello sir i broke my radius and ulna before six moths ago and did surgery but i am concern about a matter that ,,,, will i be able to do gymnastic or gym again after recover my bone >>???
brayan adam yes you will. I broke both in half and got two titanium plates in august. I just this week am getting back into tumbling and it's 100% possible
dr knight is the wrist fracture surgery is done as outpatient surgery case at the surgical center or this must be done at the hospital surigal suite in this case yes or no
That’s so weird! I tripped cutting through a neighbors yard. Palm down and I didn’t feel anything! Now after the plate and screws surgery, I’m in extreme pain 🥺
Hi my name is Allison and my wrist is broken on the opposite side apparently it is sideways the bone healed with that the bone that sits on top is now on the side and it hurts really bad and I've been trying to get it fixed what can I do
I really need a surgeon that can fix my break because it was only March when it happened hopefully I can get it fixed it's now November and it seems like I'm having a hard time I need somebody that will do the surgery and I just want to know what kind of surgery it is for that side of the wrist
When he shows how you break it that's what happend to me I have the same symptoms and when he shows the diagram of the actual break I have the same bump where my radius is but it's not as severe my family think I'm over reacting and won't take me to the doctor but its just getting worse
Wow this is exactly my break, I was snowboarding and had a distal radius fracture with deformity and had it reduced twice, after 3 and a half weeks I ended up needing surgery with a plate and screws, that was today and it’s definitely not a good time
@@justincampos9206 it’s really not that bad, anxiety can be high before you go in but once you get sedated you’ll just wake up like you had a nap and it’ll be done, recovery process can be tedious and first week or so is painful but you should get meds for that. The big thing is with being in a cast so long you’ll have to work hard to get full mobility from the tendons surrounding the joint. All comes with time though
@@harryobi5105 after you have the stitches removed and are done with the wrist brace the doctor should let you know that you’re ok to start moving it and trying to do new things, start with small stretches and activities and work your way up. You probably won’t need legitimate physio therapy from a facility unless you have issues with it in the future, I just kept active, worked my ligaments and tendons back to almost full range of motion over time and it just gets better on its own. Hope this helps! Also if you have issues with low range of motion from locked tendons I suggest filling a bathtub with as hot of water as you can handle and putting your wrist in there to try and stretch it a bit. That can also help loosen stuff up
Hey John I broke my wrist similar to this first I put the cast but It id did not heal, the bone slid back I put pins on it and I don’t know if it’s healing properly. My question. Is that if there is a chance that I’m gonna put a plate in it I broke my ulna
Hi,hope all's well(considering everything)I would like to know if a broken wrist that has been detached &in cast for about 3mths now can heal naturally?(the patient is15).
Hello john my right ulna or radius bond is broke when i was 12-14 years old now i am 21 years old my right arm is not straight like my left arm can a surgery make straight as my left arm please help
For 11 years I fell and broke Radius and Ulna. I took time before it was okey since they didn't pull Ulna in place before cast. They had to do the cast several time because I was blue in the thumb etc. Ulna become 30 degrees from the original position. Now 11 years later I broke triquetrum, they didn't do a cast. After 5 weeks I can use a keyboard but not hold heavy things. I hope I will not get any more pain then before the last accident. I can almost do any movement, but with pain.
Hi. I broke my radius and ulnar in my left wrist Christmas 2016. Had it reset 3 times with no operation. Plaster on for 7 weeks with my hand in a bent forward position. Since having the plaster removed I have had physio followed by intense physio. I still only have jest 10/20 percent of movement in my wrist. I went into hospital yesterday for wrist manipulation which is not normally known. I still have the same movement 10/20 percent along with a lot of pain right now.. I have now been told there is nothing else they can do as my x rays and MRI scans are not showing why there is not movement. I have also had a meeting with top 4 surgeons in Gwent and have been told its a mystery.. Any ideas?? I am left handed and this is a nightmare come true 😭😭😭😭
Luanna Price I’m so sorry to read you are going through this. How are you feeling now? I’m going through the same issue and I’m very depressed about it.
Hi John,I had a severly comminuted distal radius fracture [7 pieces] and the doctors set it and left it in a cast for six weeks,with out any surgery.It,s been 18 months now and I still only have about 50% range of motion.I believe it should have been repaired surgically but the doctors lacked the expertise to tackle such a bad fracture. If you don,t mind me asking how do you normally treat severe fractures and do you generally get a decent result? Thanks for your time and very good video.

walking into a storage shed door hitting my head i went down abs turned to fall backward and ended up backwards in the ditch drive drainage broken wrist. she said it may not need surgery. we were in trouble with medicaid so we didnt go to the er and dr said whyd we go there to them the last time too and we didnt go to the dr but waited nearly 2 weeks to see the orthopedic dr. medicaid denied claims n threatened to cut off our insurance so we are scared to go to the er. it probably just made it worse by not going but cheaper or maybe not for medicaid
I remember breaking my wrist once in a bout of impulsiveness by trying to do a leap of faith out my bedroom window when I was about 14, it was not fun, never done anything like that since
I had a bad break when I was 14. I'm now 36 and I refused a closed reduction due to fear. Now 22 years later I'm getting bad arthritis. Scared to have it checked out as after 22 years I'd require plates & screws. I wish I had a surgeon I could get to know. In the UK it'd be just who was assigned that day.
@@boristhespider4879 Mountain biking with a friend. We both did the same jump at the same time. We collided and his wheel landed on my wrist as I put my arm out to stop my fall. Aches now whenever it's cold.
@@nuggythebear Have you gone back for an evaluation recently, as you said it hurts still? I just had surgery on Dec 3rd, 2021. I had broken my wrist in a few choice spots so it was a relatively difficult procedure, I was told. They put a bar in my arm from the middle of my forearm to right up under my index finger. That has to be removed soon. Not looking forward to another surgery but it wasn't so bad. the first time. I'm in NJ and it's kinda the same deal here with doctors, when in the emergency room I was assigned a surgeon to go see the next day. It's the luck of the draw, I guess, who they send you to or who they refer initially if that surgeon is affiliated with hat hospital, etc. I got lucky , the surgeon I met was a top surgeon in the field and had some renown as a surgeon and a Lt Col in the Air Force, very nice, reassuring and smart guy. I can go see someone else, though, If I want a second opinion, whereas I think you guys can't do that?
@@boristhespider4879 I could go to the doctors and say it's disrupting my daily life. They'd send me to hospital then and probably do it, but it's only every now and then that it hurts and it's not like I do pushups lol. I'm very scared about the idea of general anaesthesia too. Glad you got yours sorted. You're braver than me.
@@nuggythebear Dude, I'm totally not braver than you or anyone , lol. I had no choice. It was either surgery or pretty much be one-handed forever, and I kinda suck but I love playing guitar. I was scared shitless of surgery and I'm no wilting flower. Turns out everything everyone said to me was true, you close your eyes for a second, breathe deep and next thing you know you're waking up and it's all over. Piece of cake. Good luck with yours, yo. I know it sucks.
I very much doubt you will notice I’ve just had mine fitted today on my wrist but had a broken jaw 13 years metal plate don’t notice it they generally don’t remove unless there’s infection or reaction to it.
Damn that sucks. Having a surgery at such a young age aint good. It must have been really serious since they usually just pop the bone back in and put your wrist in a cast for kids. Anyways hope you are doing better and have had a full recovery. Be sure to be careful from now! 😄

Not true. Metal plate and screws speeds up the recovery process and has more predictable outcomes. Closed reduction bones can easily shift

I broke both of that bones (radius and ulna) when i was a kid. Still hurts till this day when I'm doing something physical.😐
Hello...
Did your fingers stay swollen for a while?
I broke my radius and ulna both all the way through the skin this is nothing
Hockey everything RUclips yeah me too I wish mine was just a fracture
The video has playing is exactly what happened to my right wrist I was 13 in a half years so they were correct to pop it back in place
I just broke my wrist I won’t need to get a pin or something right?
This happened to me 2 weeks ago. Had to get the titanium plate inserted. Fingers still numb sometimes.
Hello how are u ?...are you wearing a cast ?
@@crazybyte3005 I have an arm brace that I can take-off. I sleep with it off. It gets really sweaty. You have a cast?
@@Sandler23 actually I have wrist surgery next week,I dont like to wear plaster cast after surgery..I want to buy a brace or splint..
@@Sandler23 please help me

Pray for me ,i have recently broken my wrist badly
After a left hand wrist surgery ,left hand is not growing like right hand,
Is it any solutions for left hand also grow like right hand?
I remember breaking my wrist once in a bout of impulsiveness by trying to do a leap of faith out my bedroom window when I was about 14, it was not fun, never done anything like that since
Think recovery a lot better at that age because bones are still growing.
I had a bad break when I was 14. I'm now 36 and I refused a closed reduction due to fear. Now 22 years later I'm getting bad arthritis. Scared to have it checked out as after 22 years I'd require plates & screws. I wish I had a surgeon I could get to know. In the UK it'd be just who was assigned that day.
what happened?
@@boristhespider4879 Mountain biking with a friend. We both did the same jump at the same time. We collided and his wheel landed on my wrist as I put my arm out to stop my fall.
Aches now whenever it's cold.
@@nuggythebear Have you gone back for an evaluation recently, as you said it hurts still? I just had surgery on Dec 3rd, 2021. I had broken my wrist in a few choice spots so it was a relatively difficult procedure, I was told. They put a bar in my arm from the middle of my forearm to right up under my index finger. That has to be removed soon. Not looking forward to another surgery but it wasn't so bad. the first time.
I'm in NJ and it's kinda the same deal here with doctors, when in the emergency room I was assigned a surgeon to go see the next day. It's the luck of the draw, I guess, who they send you to or who they refer initially if that surgeon is affiliated with hat hospital, etc. I got lucky , the surgeon I met was a top surgeon in the field and had some renown as a surgeon and a Lt Col in the Air Force, very nice, reassuring and smart guy. I can go see someone else, though, If I want a second opinion, whereas I think you guys can't do that?
@@boristhespider4879 I could go to the doctors and say it's disrupting my daily life. They'd send me to hospital then and probably do it, but it's only every now and then that it hurts and it's not like I do pushups lol. I'm very scared about the idea of general anaesthesia too.
Glad you got yours sorted. You're braver than me.
@@nuggythebear Dude, I'm totally not braver than you or anyone , lol. I had no choice. It was either surgery or pretty much be one-handed forever, and I kinda suck but I love playing guitar. I was scared shitless of surgery and I'm no wilting flower. Turns out everything everyone said to me was true, you close your eyes for a second, breathe deep and next thing you know you're waking up and it's all over. Piece of cake. Good luck with yours, yo. I know it sucks.
My wrist is broken I got s surgery and wearing a cast I want to if My wrist will be completely fine
How is your wrist going now, it has been 7 months since you wrote this?
How is your wrist
Man for a second I thought u were performing surgery with no gloves on 😂😂😂
If I find the plate on my radius very uncomfortable, can I ask my surgeon about removing it later?
Sure
I very much doubt you will notice I’ve just had mine fitted today on my wrist but had a broken jaw 13 years metal plate don’t notice it they generally don’t remove unless there’s infection or reaction to it.
@@carlcroucher2964 It severely restricted my range of motion. I had it removed, and it's doing much better now.
I dislocated my radius in both my wrist, had to have surgery.

Bruh į just broke my hand likę that
Fuck dis happend to me but I need surgery now to but it back but it’s going tut a screw I. Dead bro I’m 10
How is your wrist now bro
Damn that sucks. Having a surgery at such a young age aint good. It must have been really serious since they usually just pop the bone back in and put your wrist in a cast for kids. Anyways hope you are doing better and have had a full recovery. Be sure to be careful from now! 😄
@@i_amverified so that's mean you didn't get your range of motion back? I'm 2 months post surgery and im around 90%
