Dunno. It was about 15 years ago and may have had something to do with the extent of the injury? She was 25 at the time and the orthopedic surgeon kept saying he couldn't imagine the amount of energy it took to do that much damage to such young bones. The wrist was shattered into at least 5 pieces.

This is one reason we always give a shoutout to Tria Orthopedics in the Twin Cities, MN region when someone needs an orthopedist: she was one of their first patients and the wrist maintained full range of motion after healing.

Ah, mine was "only" three pieces... still the talk of the ER though :P They did insist on full anesthesia for the surgery (the fracture was unstable so I needed a plate). Glad to hear she recovered full range of motion; getting close myself.
