Suggest Treatment For Distal Radius Fracture And Dislocation

To Whom It May Concern, RE: R distal radius fracture and dislocation with major cartilage damage I write to you in regards to my injury that I received on the 22nd June 2014. I have enclosed copies of the x-rays from before and after surgery where the surgical team at Rotorua Hospital (New Zealand) have inserted a plate and pins…………………………………… I am currently located in New Zealand and As I have private medical insurance I am hoping to return home to the UK for the best possible rehabilitation and recovery, with the hope of finding a wrist specialist that can work with my injury as to consider the prospects of further surgery and possibilities to recover as much function to the wrist and hand. I am only 24 years old, a qualified electrician and passionate about racing motocross as well as a competitive physique athlete that spends a lot of time fitness training. As you can imagine facing the daunting future of limited use of my right arm I wish to consider all the absolute best options for further surgery and innovative possibilities for my wrist so I can perhaps be able to return to doing the things that a young active person like myself, loves and lives for. If you would like more information or to speak to me I would love the opportunity to discuss my injury with you further. My email address is YYYY@YYYY and I would be available to Skype with you if that is a possibility. Alternatively my contact number is +64 21 034 0794. I thank you for your time and consideration of my injury and I look forward to hearing from you if you have any advice or suggestions for how I can proceed, that would be so greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely,

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi there
it sounds that you had a major injury to your wrist almost 2 years ago. You will need some adjustments to your lifestyle within limits of the best possible function your wrist will allow. at 22 months bony injuries must be healed but cartilaginous injuries need to be followed up. I suggest that you see a orthopaedic hand surgeon for an assessment and follow up plan.
