This was a month ago. Surgeon told me to come back in 6 weeks and keep wearing the brace constantly (no usage of arm).
I’ve got two more weeks but finally (finally ) swelling is way down and pain is almost gone. Very rare pain

Is it possible that this is healing correctly?
Is this kind of misalignment (I know that they don’t fix things anatomically) ok to avoid surgery?

I’m trying to set my expectations for when I go back and see him.

He did allow me to do some passive flexion and extension of the wrist for an hour a day and it is starting to loosen up to where I can regain some mobility there.

Surgery Feb 10. Xray 9.5 weeks later showing no signs of callus - ortho advised waiting another 6 weeks

Less pain and swelling at 11 weeks but I’m wondering if revision surgery will still be necessary even if it does start to heal because of this 4 mm distance? Is it normal to still wait vs just going back to surgery?

I am wearing a splint but it hurts after walking or car rides
