Mis aligned wrist
I had a wrist fracture in june'2020 and as a result got my right hand in cast for 5 weeks.
After the cast removal it's been 5 weeks. But still the hand isn't going into full extension and flexion.
Moreover it looks misaligned in some angles
Can you please help me know what to expect.
