Boxer's fracture
I underwent K Wire surgery 3 weeks back.
Surgery was done in Hyderabad.
Now I am back to my home town.
Need to continue treatment here.
Need to know when would be the Wire removed.
And is it required to get examined with x ray, periodically to check if it is healed ?

X-rays not required .
Get wire removed at 6 weeks.
Immobiliser your hand as 1wire is not stable enough.
Also as the wire is antegrade, immobilisation is prime.
