You have no reason to be scared. This operation is very routine and safe. Metal plates in joints due to breaks and shattered bones is an operation performed by surgeons quite frequently.
You'll be in very capable hands that do this day in, day out. The nurses will also keep a close eye on you and the inscision so the risk of infection will be low. Follow all instructions on discharge and you'll be fine.
You may even find your wrist will be more stable than before the operation. Good luck! Keep calm!

Don't worry too much. I had carpul tunnel surgery and it wasn't anything big. I got worked up over pretty much nothing. I mean it was annoying to not be able to use my hand and it was my major hand, but for the most part it's no biggie. If it's the hand that you use all the time I suggest you teach yourself real quick how to do things with the other hand. It took me a month of heavy training to teach my other hand how to do things. The bathroom is the worst. Good luck and I hope it feels better in no time.

scared of what. having a better wrist. They gonna fix u up. Luckily it wasnt your head or hip surgery. 2 hard ones are far as difficulty of recovery. It is OK to be a little nervous. But youll be fine. good luck.

this is a painful place yet its well worth it each and every tattoo will harm some better than others yet once you like it then decide for it dnt enable discomfort get on your way of having surprisingly ink (: something to distract you for the time of it would be having a chum there which you would be able to squeze there hand and concentration on one situation a merely think of approximately it and deep concept like i regarded at a button on my friends jacket i merely concept the place it got here from who made it and so on it rele helped and speaking helps a ton i had a quiet tattoo artist it made it worst!

absolutely normal to be scared, but you really shouldn't have anything to worry about. I know someone who had a similar surgery about 2 years ago, and he did just fine.

ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO THRU A METAL DETECTOR.........NO....I'M KIDDING......A FAMOUS PERSON ONCE SAID," THE ONLY MINOR SURGERY IS SURGERY ON SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF". YOU WILL BE FINE.........i HAD WRIST SURGERY LAST YEAR. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE FOLLOWED ALL OF YOUR PRE-OP DIRECTIONS AND ANSWERED ALL THE DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS ACCURATELY YOU WILL BE FINE.
