Two months ago, fracture occurred in my mother hand. If possible my seeing this picture of X-Ray, Could you please check bones are in proper position or not?

Brief Answer:
The bones are in proper position.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached image. This seems to be a colle's fracture. The bones are at the right place. The hand needs to be kept immobilized in this position for 6 weeks. After the plaster is removed there can be slight swelling and stiffness which will gradually improve with proper physiotherapy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
