The reason I ask is the person in question has somewhat of a compromised immune system, and has just had shingles. But due to the misdiagnosis of an A and E doctor, her wrist is fusing in a matter of days. She has to make the call of having a metal plate (she already has one in the other wrist) or a wire within a day.
The wire isn't as effective apparently, but the risk of injection is worrying, especially considering the immune system.
ADVICE PLEASE PEOPLE!
