What Causes Numbness In Fingers After A Wrist Fracture?

hi i recently had a fracture of my right wrist. Happened during sn earthquake in the phillipines. The alignment was good the hospital said however if i compare that wrist to my left one it seems Rolled. Like the small bone that is on top of my good wrist is rolled to the side of the fractured one. I wasnt placed in a cast but a velcro type brace with a splint. Even 3 fingers feel like they are numb and almost arthritic. what do you think?

Dear,
In my opinion that is Carpal tunnel syndromes result due to the pressure in the median nerve in the wrist region.
to confirm that, Some investigations are recommended such as (CT on wrist and EMG)
pain killer, neurotonic medications, wrist support and physiotherapy are helpful for now.
