Thanks for this video. My wrist got fractured in a road accident 2 months ago. It was a colles fracture in radius bone of left wrist. Dr removed the cast after 6 weeks and I am currently undergoing physiotherapy and its been 3 weeks now, i cant even lift a 5 kg dumbbell now. Is it going to be like this forever? How can i restore my grip strength and lifting ability that i used to have before injury, i used to do dumbbell curls using 10-12-15 kg dumbbells in gym and i know deter lifting 5 Kg dumbbell. Any suggestion or word of advice?

Thank you doctor, I have a non displaced from one week should I start exercise now or after

Hi thank you for this! For ROM exercises, how many seconds would you recommend holding each position? Like if we do 10 reps of supination and pronation, how long should the FA be held in supination, then in pronation? or would it not matter, we just need to go through the movement?

How often and for how long should a 13 year old do these exercises after a radius and ulna fracture? He's 11 weeks into healing, the cast is off but his arm is very sensitive.

I have distal radius and ulnar styloid fracture a titanium plate and k wire fixation has been done ! Been 2 weeks after my surgery how long will it take to heal ?

I had distal radius fracture from road accident 10 days ago... had a volar plate surgery 2 days later after that...got my cast removed yesterday...i can make complete fist and I've complete motility..but can't move my wrist backwards...can you guide me with any suggestions and please tell me the recovery time.?

How many weeks till patients are allowed to start with weighted excercises and putting weight on the hand normally? I'm not injured, just curious. I know it depends on the surgery but what is your experience?

so I got shot in my radius and it shattered, I am a month or two past surgery and I still can’t figure out how to regain feeling in my thumb and pointer finger even after watching tons of videos I still can’t seem to get it .

Hello, I have got distal radius end fracture of my left forearm. It was fixed using 5 K-wires closed reduction. 6 weeks after surgery the K-wires were removed. There is a swelling on the ulnar side wrist after that. Now after 3 weeks of K-wire removal I am still having the swelling on my ulnar side. Is it something to worry about? Is this a deformity/malunion that resulted? Or this will go away with time? I will be very grateful if you kindly reply to me.

How many days should the exercise be done after the operation?

Whats that bar called? Also, can I be doing these daily?

Generally speaking, will doing this continously increase range of motion back to the level of the uninjured wrist? For me its not longer painful, but the range of motion isn't quite there like the other wrist

Is this for nonoperative DRF?

Thanks for this, good to hear someone saying things like "gradual" and "slowly". I was getting really discouraged 10 days after wrist cast removal seeing videos where supposed physios and doctors seemed to be impying there should be almost instant results. I realise everyone id different, but any chance of any indication of how long it should take to get some reasonable amount of movement?

I had a motorbike accident 8 weeks ago and got a distal wrist fracture on my right hand (and I'm a righty).. I have two plates implanted for the next 8 weeks. One on the top and one on the bottom of my radius.. The cast was removed 4 days ago and I've started my physio.. Is it normal for the wrist to feel like its locking up? I have minimal range moving it upwards then it feels "locked" - theres no pain it just wont move upward (downward hurts on the right side of my wrist.) Also.. if I'm "palm up" I can move my wrist down off the edge of a table, but when I turn my wrist so its "palm down" my wrist wont move as far upward.. What's with that? I suppose over time and doing these stretches five times a day will get things moving again. Great video by the way.. You said to do things slowly to start with and don't try to do too much.. I was trying to put extra pressure on the wrist by pushing it up n down with my other hand not realising I could be doing more harm than good, but I won't do that now after watching your video.. Just let time take its course.. Three days ago it wouldn't move at all.. Now I have some movement.. What will it be like in 6 weeks.. 🤔 My physio person said to start doing things with the hand as "normal" as that's also going to be like doing physio without thinking about it.. Is it okay to put my forearms together touching my elbows and palms together then bending my elbows away like my hands are praying - stretching the wrists? Or is that an advanced stretch for now? I get the upper plate removed in 6 weeks but the lower plate is staying in apparently.. I must have done a right number on my wrist...

i had distal radius fracture 9 months ago with internal fixation. i habe got 90-95% of range of motion back. i have started lifting heavy. can i do boxing and throw punches with that hand with titanium plate in my wrist.?

Hi,I am still struggling with my distal radius fracture. 10 June 2022 met a road accident. Had kwires after surgery,cast removed on 27 July. Doing physiotherapy but the progress is slow,can't make fist. Still stiffness in fingers and wrist ,kindly guide me wat to do now.

Hi. I broke my distal radius on Monday. The consultant has decided that I don't need a cast, so I'm just in a brace for 4-6 weeks. I asked about weight lifting, and was told 6 weeks. Can you give me an idea as to when I can get into the gym? I know it varies, but I just don't know if I should except to be out for 6-8 weeks or 3/4/5 months? I'm hoping the fact that I'm just in a brace will mean my wrist isn't as stiff when healed

Hello mine wasn't fractured but after getting Dengue Fever my body triggered something like Arthritis which after taking a series of medication most of the pain is gone but just my distal radius area on my right hand is swollen and bulging. Not sure what else to do I've iced it (not consistent though) and tried banning it but all aren't consistent. Then the wrist bone in line with the little finger that hurts also. Any suggestions?

My fracture happened in 2015 and i didn't do these exercises back then, so my rehab wasn't completely done. When i do it now, i have some stiffness during the exercises (no lasting pain). My range of motion is restricted somewhat due to the stiffness. My arm feels weak as well compared to the other arm. Will these exercises work for me after 7.5 years of the day of injury? Ps: I'm 32 now, was 24 when i broke my arm

Does "self love" with your hurt wrist count as therapy?
