I've namechanged for this as it's very outing.
Dd has fractured her wrist. Cutting a long story short we were told her radius was fractured, then at fracture clinic the following day were told there was no fracture, 4 days later we were told her scaphoid was fractured, fracture clinic following day said scaphoid wasn't fractured .... now 3 months down the line an MRI scan has shown her capitate bone is fractured and NOT healed.
We're obviously livid but that's another story.
I'm wondering if anyone had any personal/professional advice on if the bone is now likely to heal and how long it may take? We've seen 2 specialists (1 a hand specialist) and both have never seen this bone fractured in their 10+ years careers so don't know exactly what to do. A ct scan has showed the break is still very much there but shows some small healing. Dd has now been put in a plaster cast for a few weeks, hoping that the bone will heal further.
I'm not keen on the wait and see approach given that we're now over 14 weeks since the injury happened and it's still nowhere near healed.
TIA
