I got a “Colles Fracture” about 20 years ago by falling off a fence (it’s a typical “high energy” fracture common to motorcyclists and snowboarders). No pins; they set it and casted it. Never did get the full range of motion back (maybe 10 degrees short), it’s a bit arthritic, and it’s for weird slight twist to it (that only I see). When the cast is on, you don’t see these things forming. When the cast comes off, it’s “Oh!”
I wonder if you could now get the surgery to correct it.
You are like the 1 out of 8 in this study.
