nothing is permanent

You may be technically correct, but what’s the point of this comment?

For as long as he is alive, he will have less range of motion in his right wrist than his left, barring advances in nanotechnology bone reconstruction or something.

Millions of years from now, when his body has broken down into petrochemicals, I suppose that yes, his wrist will then have a greater range of motion then it does now.

But that’s hardly relevant.

If that is his attitude - and the attitude of everyone around him - then that will likely be the case.

In 'reality' - whatever that means to you - plenty of folks have demonstrated that the body is malleable.

With work, ROM is restorable.

The word 'permanent' doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
