Buddy of mine had a similar fracture while snowboarding. We had to take him to the Banff hospital and the surgeon was quite excited as he rarely gets to preform this kind of surgery. Didn't know what to think about that, only glad it wasn't me...
If I recall correctly the pain didn't last very long, and he was in a cast for about a month. Still had to take it easy the next couple weeks after. He has a pretty bad ass scar on his wrist.
Never did get 100% movement back, but it was close to 90%. I guess it just depends on physio.
