Comminuted fracture of distal end of wrist and radius, how long can you recover freely! (concrete) concrete courageous+100

Hello. First of all, comminuted fractures are nothing to be afraid of. Because in theory, as long as there are more than two bones, a fracture can be called a comminuted fracture. If studied carefully, most fractures can be called comminuted fractures. But the terrible thing about comminuted fracture is that if there is a comminuted fracture near the joint, especially on the joint surface, the impact is still great!

Comminuted fractures of the distal radius mostly affect the articular surface, which is the axial surface of joint activity, so if the articular surface of comminuted fractures is uneven, it will affect future functional activities. This kind of injury is irreversible, so don't think about the impact of fracture on your joints now, just concentrate on functional activities and exercises. As long as you go all out, there will be unexpected gains!

Your wrist movement angle is far from the requirement, so you can't do strength exercises. When the movements of the affected limb and the healthy wrist are basically the same, you can do strength exercises. That's what you said. The activity has begun. Once your joint motion angle meets the requirements, then weight-bearing strength training is a natural thing. It can even be said that if the joint motion angle recovers well, then there is no need for strength training at all. Because you have a fracture, not a tendon or nerve injury. When you exercise from the angle of functional activity, your muscles and ligaments are restored at the same time. So there is no need to practice strength deliberately, which is meaningless.

Wrist joint has six main functions: 1, palmar flexion. Is that the wrist bends down. 2, back extension. Is to raise your wrist. 3, the ruler is biased. Is that the wrist moves in the direction of the little finger. 4. Radial deviation. The wrist moves in the direction of the thumb. 5. Turn around. Is to keep your palms up. 6. Rotate forward. Is to put your palm down.

These six actions need to be carried out under the premise of neutral position, which is called functional position. The so-called functional position means that regardless of the position and posture of the upper limb, the thumb should face the cubital fossa and be in a straight line with the cubital fossa. This is a standard posture and a reference standard for functional exercise.

What needs special explanation here is that among the six functional activities of wrist joint, the function of "back extension and supination" is particularly important! Because these two effects are difficult for other joints to compensate. You need to practice very carefully! Otherwise, "eating a bowl of rice and picking things up" will be a problem in the future, and "even palm reading" will hardly be a joke.

In addition, several points should be noted, 1. The above exercises should be done step by step and must not be rushed. Take "week" as the time point for comparison. Compare this week with last week to see if there is any progress. Don't use "day" to compare, it is meaningless to compare today with yesterday. 2. Because the rehabilitation exercise needs to tear the adhered soft tissue to a certain extent. Therefore, during the recovery period, the affected limb will be swollen or painful. If there is swelling or pain, stop practicing, raise the affected limb and rest. If the symptoms are not eliminated or become serious, you need to go to the local hospital for swelling and dehydration treatment. Of course, this rarely happens. Usually mild to moderate swelling and pain. As long as the affected limb is raised and rested, the symptoms will naturally disappear.

There is no shortcut to functional rehabilitation, but it should be gradual.

All right, let's not talk so much. Please ask more questions.

I hope the above answers can help you!

I wish you a speedy recovery!
