What Causes Numbness And Disorientation Of The Left Wrist Post Surgery?
I broke my left wrist in April 29 2016, the bone dr told me I shattered all the small bones around my wrist, 5 days later I had surgery done and a metal plate was put in. My question is why was my wrist left crooked and the bone on the side sticks out, and it feels numb all the time.

This should be reviewed by another orthopaedic surgeon,preferably by hand surgeon with an MRI/X-rays.Usually some discrepancy lasts on side of wrist and excision of jutting bone restores ROM or rotation.Plate can also be removed now.some numbness may be relieved if it’s due to overcrowding small bones impinging some nerve which can be assessed by scans
