What Causes Constant Dull Pain In Wrist Where The Metal Plate Is Inserted?
I had a metal plate and screws put in my wrist about 5 years ago when i broke my ulna and radius where they meet the wrist. I have completely recovered, have full range of motion and good strength as I finished my PT and everything the doctor recommended. Lately I m having a dull but constant pain over the area where the metal plate is. What could be causing this?

Hi,
This might suggest a reaction to the metal or an evolving infection there. Kindly discuss with your orthopedist, as occasionally this demands removal of the plate.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
