The plaster usually stays for 3-4 weeks and once the plaster is removed the operating doctor may take an X-ray to see condition of healing and may decide to remove the wires at the same time or may be later
However once the wires are out you should undergo physiotherapy for two weeks and then you should be able to write comfortably
As the joint was dislocated you may have some restrictions of movement
