Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Nonunion is rare; most of these fractures heal. However, if the fracture is unstable the deformity at the fracture site will increase and cause limitation of wrist motion and forearm rotation, pronation and supination. If the joint surface is damaged and heals with more than 1-2 mm of unevenness the wrist joint will be prone to post traumatic osteoarthritis.
