Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The wrist fusion is needed as your scaphoid bone had a malunion. This can be assessed only after a look at your X-rays and reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
