I wish that i could remember but it was a long time ago but i had 1 plaster caste on and went in to gt it off and they took it off and i thought thank goodness but they put another on not quite as heavy as the first one but maybe things have changed a bit now.Sorry i couldnt be any help.

No anything helps I am very nervous never had op in life. If you don't mind me asking how old were you when you needed this done I feel I am to young to have this much damage already thanks

I have had both wrists fused. One had a bone graft, ( from my hip) the other a metal rod. Recovery time was similar. They were done a number of years ago, both successful. I would allow about 12 weeks before you are using the wrist confidently again.
