How long does it take for navicular fracture of right wrist to recover?
My right hand scaphoid has a broken waist. Now let me talk about my experience. After kicking the ball, the right hand supports the ground, resulting in tearing fractures of the scaphoid and triangle of the right hand. The scaphoid fracture is at the waist, accompanied by free fragments. At that time, the doctor suggested hospitalization, but I didn't agree. I don't think it's that serious, just a plaster cast. The doctor suggested taking a film once a month for a follow-up visit. A month later, I went to take a film, and the doctor said that I couldn't see if the fracture gap was permanent. I'll wait and see. But on the 45th day, I thought it was almost enough, so I removed the plaster without permission. The next month, that is, 60 days, I went to check again. The film showed that because I removed the plaster, the fracture end was seriously displaced, resulting in nonunion. The distal end of the scaphoid, that is, the broken part, has lost calcium and turned white, and it is almost certain that it will not grow well again. I quickly went to the big hospital for consultation to see if I could have an operation. Several doctors have suggested that the best opportunity for surgical treatment has been lost, and conservative treatment is better. So I had to treat it conservatively. Now a year has passed, and my right hand is still very weak, only recovering about 60%. My experience tells me that you must listen to the doctor's advice. If the doctor says it's time to remove the plaster, you can remove it. However, scaphoid fracture is a common problem. Many rural people say that they fell and hurt their wrists. In fact, it may be a scaphoid fracture or a fracture, but it is no problem to leave it untreated at all. So don't worry, relax. In addition, it is also important to pay attention to the warmth of the fracture site. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
