I broke a wrist a few years ago. The orthopedic Dr. gave me a thermal-plastic splint, basically a splint made from a piece of plastic heated up in a hot-water bath... and then form-fit to my wrist. Velcro straps held it in place. On a follow-up Dr. visit, I brought a wake handle in with me, and somehow convinced the therapist to re-form the splint with a nice grip half-way around the handle. Not sure how I talked her into that, but it worked great for keeping the wrist stable while getting in some basic riding.
