Re: worker's comp.
The tasks involved with corrections Officer duties are likely too dificult for one with a fused wrist. If you can perform the job essentials, ask for accomodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
If not, then re-train, execute a compromise& release or seek commutation.
have your counsel discuss with you whether you have sustained a Specific Loss of any part of your arm or hand.
Good Luck
