My good friend just pulverized (dr. didn't say fracture, he said pulverized 3 times!) his wrist. The doctor said he won't have mobility of his wrist...EVER! They did surgery last night and put in four pins through the forehand and arm to "stretch" the bones therefore pulling them back into place somewhat. He expects that the bones (approx 23 bones) will fuse together. Tendons seem fine at this point and he has movement of his fingers.
does anyone know about this type of injury and if he can in fact expect permanent immobility? He's a pilot in the Marine Corps and the ortho is telling him he won't fly again.
Any information would be appreciated
