Bulging veins after distal radius fracture operation?

May 30, 2016
Asked By:void321 in Hove, GB

Hi im a 25 year old male. I had a distal radius fracture and had plates and screws put in about 5 years ago. The veins in my hand and wrist have got progressively worse (more visible and protruding) compared with the wrist that has not been operated on, and are beginning to look quite unsightly. I was wondering if this is common and if there is any need for concern. Also, is this something that Sclerotherapy could help.
