[quote]Dear brother Roswell

AssalamoAlaikum,

I am a general surgeon.  Brother Dr. Waseem has advised comprehensively to solve your problem according to the information provided. Continuing his advice I want just to add or explain few points as followings.

1.	The aim of any fracture treatment is not only healing which is natural, but to achieve the useful FUNCTION that can only be achieved if there is satisfactory alignment of the bone ends. The satisfactory alignment is not only the answer but its maintenance too, which is the vital manoeuvre done by the POP. Therefore POP is the backbone of the forthcoming results, so it must be allowed to work as advised by the concerned doctor. If the POP is causing some problems, it may be revised after properly being examined by the doctor. The problems like pain, numbness, tingling sensations, inability to move of the fingers or colour changes etc must not be taken light and immediate consultation is mandatory.
2.	Protect your POP from wetting as it loosens it, which ultimately impairs its function.  
3.	Making the limb vertical would do add to the swelling of the hand, and so it must be kept up with the sling, with periodic movements of the fingers.
4.	After the POP is removed (after the said period), proper physiotherapy is vital to restore the full range of the movements. 
5.	You must not be worried too much. Be patient and thank God, as it is your wrist not the ankle- you can walk easily in and out of the home with your POP at the wrist.

Just for information for some others, POP is the abbreviation of Plaster Of Paris.

May God bless you and help improving your condition, Aameen.[/quote]
