If a wrist fracture is left untreated, it can result in what is called a non-union, which means that the bone does not fuse back together and remains broken. When this happens, long-term issues with the bones and joints in your wrist are likely to follow, including chronic pain, swelling, and tenderness, as well as arthritis. As such, it is crucial to receive swift and expert medical treatment if you have suffered a wrist fracture or any other fracture for that matter!
