Removing crews to reduce pain after a graft operation for scaphoid wrist fracture
I had a graft operation for scaphoid wrist fracture. My doctor saw my xrays after 4 weeks of cast and recasted it again saying he will remove the screws to reduce pain. What does he mean? And how can I improve my condition

Hi,
Thanks for query,
You should inquire that if previous casting was alright, why you go for recasting?
And casting was not ok then why you removed screw.
I think with previous cast fracture might not have placed proper and now they might have replaced.
Now plaster is done ?
If plaster is made after 4 weeks fracture will unite and then go for physiotherapy.
ok and bye.
