Back to back years with broken wrists suck!
I suggest going to physiotherapy. They were great at getting my wrists moving and to gain strength. My left wrist was really bad. Actually I can still feel a bit of stiffness in it at times.
And the number one thing you should do is get a wrist brace! I got the Allsport Dynamics Carbon Fiber wrist braces and they are amazing!! Shop around online and you can find them for a good price!!

Shattered the radius, cracked the ulna, and had bone fragments from a couple carpal bones, also toer pretty much every bit of connecting tissues (ligaments/tendons) after 2 surgeries, 2 plates, 12 screws and a bone graft, I finally was able to get to go back to work this month, but now may need another surgery, fusion, and some tendon grafts, so, my dirtbiking days might be over. trying no to think about it.

But dont count yourself out yet. I know a guy who only has one arm and still rides. He lost his right arm in a motorcycle accident.
Now he rides and has a custom made throttle that goes on the left side. The only bad part is that he has to be careful cause he can only use the rear brake.

My God , what happened???? it never crossed my mind to stop riding even though the doctors (in all their wisdom ) try to convince you to. although i cant speak for a shattered wrist such as yours, a fusion is the most likely outcome because it is difficult to get all of the pieces to heal back together. this causes whats called avascular necrosis (the bone doesn't get its blood supply and dies) this is especially true for the small bones in your wrist where their vascular structures are very small and thus fragile. are you getting your second surgery because of wrist pain? (this is typical for the above case)
aside from this though riders with fused wrist is not unheard of, i would stay optimistic and get the wrist back to strength as you have suggested to me. i know i was the one asking the questions in the beginning but ever since i got some opinions and replies (including yourself from this forum) i dont feel that bothered about it anymore . in any event good luck with your surgery and thanks for your input

then in Nov had the 2nd surgery wher they removed the plate from the top, took bone from my shin, put it in my radius, and put a new plate in from the bottom, so I have a scar on the top and bottom now
