Plaintiff, a 55-year-old tailor, sustained painful fractures to both wrists after falling on uneven stairs leading into a subway station. The fracture to the left wrist was a comminuted intraarticular fracture of the distal radius and ulnar styloid, which required reduction surgery and a second surgical procedure to remove the metal hardware inserted into his wrist. Following a course of occupational therapy, plaintiffs fractures healed but he had reduced ranges of motion, tenderness and reduced grip strength, and traumatic arthritis causing pain in both wrists. Under the circumstances presented, the award for future pain and suffering did not deviate materially from what is reasonable compensation ( see Karwacki v Astoria Med. Anesthesia Assoc., E.C., 23 AD3d 438; Hayes v Normandie LLC, 306 AD2d 133, lv dismissed 100 NY2d 640; Cabezas v City of New York, 303 AD2d 307; CPLR 5501 [c]).
