About Displaced Bone In Wrist

A displaced bone in the wrist, often a scaphoid or distal radius fracture, is a serious orthopedic injury where broken bone fragments are no longer aligned. This procedure, performed by an orthopedic surgeon, involves precise realignment (reduction) and stabilization to restore normal anatomy and function. The primary goal is to prevent long-term complications like arthritis, chronic pain, and loss of wrist motion. Treatment typically begins with a closed reduction, where the bones are manually repositioned without surgery. If the fracture is unstable or cannot be adequately aligned, an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery is performed. This involves making an incision to directly visualize the bones, repositioning them, and securing them with plates, screws, or pins. This surgical intervention is crucial for ensuring proper healing and a return to full strength and mobility.

Key Highlights

    Restores precise anatomical alignment of wrist bones.Prevents long-term complications like post-traumatic arthritis and chronic instability.Promotes optimal bone healing and reduces the risk of non-union (bone not healing).Allows for earlier mobilization and rehabilitation compared to non-surgical casting alone.Helps regain full strength, range of motion, and function of the wrist and hand.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Unstable wrist fractures where bone ends are significantly misaligned (displaced).
  • Open fractures where the bone has broken through the skin.
  • Intra-articular fractures (extending into the wrist joint surface).
  • Failed closed reduction (bones cannot be held in place with a cast).
  • Fractures with associated nerve or blood vessel injury (neurovascular compromise).
  • Comminuted fractures (bone shattered into multiple pieces).

How to prepare

  • Complete medical history review and physical examination by the orthopedic surgeon.
  • Diagnostic imaging: X-rays are essential; a CT scan may be ordered for detailed fracture assessment.
  • Pre-operative blood tests and possibly an ECG to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
  • Discussion of anesthesia options (general, regional block) with the anesthesiologist.
  • Informing the surgeon of all medications, supplements, and allergies; may need to stop blood thinners.
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
  • Arranging for post-operative assistance and transportation home.

Risks & possible complications

  • Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
  • Bleeding, bruising, or hematoma formation.
  • Damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
  • Stiffness, reduced range of motion, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
  • Hardware irritation, failure, or the need for future removal.
  • Non-union (bone fails to heal) or malunion (bone heals in a poor position).
  • Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) and risks associated with anesthesia.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial period involves wearing a splint or cast to protect the surgical repair.
  • Elevation of the hand above heart level is crucial for the first few days to reduce swelling.
  • Pain is managed with prescribed medications; ice packs help with swelling and discomfort.
  • Keeping the surgical dressing clean and dry; watching for signs of infection (redness, fever, pus).
  • Early, gentle finger movement exercises are encouraged to prevent stiffness.
  • Formal physical therapy typically begins after the initial healing phase (2-6 weeks) to restore strength and mobility.
  • Gradual return to normal activities and sports as guided by the surgeon, often over several months.
  • Follow-up X-rays are scheduled to monitor bone healing progress.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for basic healing; 3-6 months for full strength and function

PATIENT REVIEW

Vivaan Ali, a 28-year-old software engineer...

Vivaan Ali, a 28-year-old software engineer and avid rock climber, slipped while bouldering at his local gym, landing hard on his outstretched right hand. He felt immediate, sharp pain and a sickening 'pop'. In the ER, X-rays confirmed a displaced fracture of his scaphoid bone, a critical wrist bone with poor blood supply. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained that due to the displacement, the bone fragments were misaligned and at high risk of not healing (non-union), which could lead to permanent arthritis and weakness. Vivaan was devastated, fearing he might never climb again. He underwent an outpatient procedure called an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Under anesthesia, Dr. Chen made a small incision, realigned the bone fragments perfectly, and secured them with a tiny screw. The surgery lasted about an hour. Post-surgery, Vivaan's wrist was placed in a cast. He struggled with frustration and anxiety during the initial 6 weeks of immobilization, worrying about his career and passion. However, after the cast came off and he began guided physiotherapy, he slowly regained strength and mobility. At his 4-month follow-up, a CT scan showed solid bone union. His emotional journey shifted from despair and impatience to immense relief and cautious optimism. While he's not yet back to his pre-injury climbing level, he's steadily progressing in the gym, grateful for the procedure that saved his wrist's long-term function.
