Answer 2

It would be VERY unusual to get gangreen from a broken wrist.  Can you see your finger tips? Can you MOVE your finger tips (wiggle your fingers)?  If your finger tips turn black you need to go to the doctor immediately. If you cannot wiggle your fingers  you need to tell your doctro this as well.

the itching is normal. Talk to your doctro and see if there is anything he can recommend

Answer 3

I don't think you know the meaning of the word gangrene. Gangrene is a medical term used to describe the death of an area of the body. If your wrist were to develop gangrene your fingers would be swollen and painful and there would be a horrible smell.
