Closed college fracture
I went to the hospital a week ago and found out I have a closed colles fracture in my left radius. I was then referred to a orthopedic specialist who confirmed I need surgery to restore mobility I my wrist. I cannot afford this surgery. If I went back to the hospital would they be able to do surgery? I can make payments but not pay in full. My wrist is deformed and in pain and I need treatment asap.

Dear Madam, having a fracture and that too colles, does not require surgery always, moreover, you fail to tell the duration of your injury, also, you have not posted any X rays for us to review.
So for the time being, keep crepe support or plaster, do not keep dependent, and send the x rays on practo personally so that a advise on further treatment can be given.
