I’m here 2 weeks after ORIF distal radius and ulna head surgery in my right arm from breaking both in a snowboarding accident. Had to get a metal plate and around 10 screws put in. To make matters worse, I also had a minor hairline fracture in my left wrist. Very informative video! I’ve gotten a lot of my mobility back that I thought I would never have again. I’m currently in a smaller splint cast than I was right after surgery and will be put into a small brace next week. Something I’ve noticed though is that my right wrist sticks up a lot more and appears bigger than my left now. Do you know if this is from the plate/screws or from just being a bit swollen still from surgery? Will this appearance likely subside at all?
I had distal wrist fracture surgery 7 weeks ago, I fell from a chair with wheels 9 weeks ago. I still can't move my wrist. can't do palm up! do you guys think is normal?
It may be too late you have to jump on this I could not move or bend wrist at all after cast came off I worked it aggressively ALL DAY LONG and got 100% mobility back.
Had a “distal radial fracture” on my left wrist on the 3rd of October and got my cast removed on the 17th of November. My hand won’t rotate facing the ceiling doesn’t hurt but it’s not rotating
I suffered a distsl radius fracture around the same time as you did and it's not the first for me.. 😂 Speaking from experience is it compeltely normal to feel stiffness in your joints with limited range of movement. Try the various exercises in the video every 2 to 3 hours and you will start to see improvement!
@Flickzy_YT Holy crap that sounded really bad. Hope you're feeling better. I have been doing the said exercises and I am now able to do around 60 to 70 degrees with my hand extended. Don't give up, be dilligent with the exercises and the hardwork will pay off!
I had also fractured my wrist 2 months back. There’s no cast on my hand now but wrist movements are not restored completely due to stiffness. I’ll start following these exercises
I wish I could see someone with an actual injury do these because watching someone with a healthy wrist is depressing. I’m at ten weeks and my hand and wrist are stuffed
I also had distal radius fracture and had a surgery 5 weeks ago. These exercises are great. I do them each day in my breaks of work. They help a lot. I also found out that; actually using your hand helps a lot too. I try to do daily stuff a little bit more each day. I wasn't able to eat with my right hand, then barely able to eat 4 days ago, yesterday I was able to eat near-properly :) I was able to lift a glass 2 weeks ago, last week I was able to lift glass of water and drink, two days ago I was able to lift and drink from 500ml bottle easily. I will try 1 or 2kg bottles whenever I can :) Also, my next challenge is opening doors with my right hand. I will share the results :D
@@sonubhai1048 It's been 10 weeks I guess. I could open doors at 6-7 weeks or so. I can easily pour tea with 2kg teapot. Pronation and Supination is almost full rotation with a little pain at the end of rotation. Ulnar and radial deviation is still a little hard. Prayer stretch is at 80° instead of 90°. Btw, this video shows the exercises but does not show how to progress. At week 6; my doctor advised me to stretch until pain point for each exercise, then stretch a little more and wait 20 seconds. I've done these 3-4 times a day and I could see the progress afterwards. Also I did not try so hard until week 4.

@@agniveshchoudhary4291 hi, how many weeks before you can fully supinate your arm? I’ve been exercising my arm since july 22 but my supination doesn’t improve yet. There’s a hard feeling from my ulna bone (below the wrist) that suppressing my arm to supinate. Should I focus on moving my wrist first?
1. The first 50 seconds the audio is in the mud (extremely, unintelligibly, low). 2. I can't do TENDON GLIDING at all; I can't do the hook; I can't make a fist either, by the way.... I'm screwed, aren't I? Might as well chop this useless hand off.
@@vulture-6 It's a year later, I had another surgery; I was told there'd be limited progress (the seriousness of the original damage, the delay in seeing the second surgeon [who said I'd been misdiagnosed by the first surgeon] ) it's somewhat better than it was. I work on it everyday regardless, still seeing an occupational therapist weekly. I have no hopes, but I don't write that in any downbeat way; I simply don't think about the future condition of my wrist. I do what I do & what'll happen will happen. If I have no hope then I won't have any hopes dashed if I stay focused in the present, is how I think of it. Thanks for your words of encouragement though, vulture-6.
At the wrist extension, you say that you can press more with the other hand after 8 weeks. Is it 8 week after the cast went off? Or since the accident?
I am 6 weeks post-op distal radius fx ORIF still wearing a removable brace totally out of Oxycodone post-op RX oh, I received a metal plate with 10 screws and literally have no strength in my left wrist at all. I'm wondering if it is gone for good. The pain is still pretty well pronounced I would say moderate-to-severe and I still have a lot of major post-op bruising. My phone was falling out of my hand I was backing up trying to keep it from falling and tripped over an ottoman, I stuck out my arms to break my fall and shattered my left wrist.
I fractured my distal radius about 6 weeks ago and have been out of surgery for 5 weeks. I'm on week 4 of PT. When I fractured it I was told that my radius had been shortened so I'm struggling a lot I'm struggling a lot with pronation and supination. I have been working on that since week 1A physical therapy and it doesn't seem to be getting any better although we are adding weight now.
Hey same issue here. Fractured both my radius and ulna (both distal). Have plates in both the bones and struggling with Supination (20°) and pronation(50°). How's your progress could. I am on week 3 of PT. Could use some advice.
On January 3 I had operated for forearm doctor inserted 2rods cast is removed 5days back now my wrist is turned with the continued part of my forearm , alone wrist I cannot rotate suggest me how can I alone move my wrist
I dont know if its too late now but when I had my wrist fracture after cast came off I could not bend hand or turn it over whatsoever-I worked it ALL DAY LONG-up and down and turning. I was pretty aggressive. I got full 100% mobility back.
I "shattered" both my wrists trying to ROLLER SKATE!! The best thing you can do is draw a hot bath a little Epsom Salt and relax while doing the exercises while your wrists are under the hot water!! The heat of water really helps to get 100% of your movement back!! It's also a PAIN RELEAVER FREE way of doing it!! My bone doctor came into the examination room at my last appointment and said... IM IMPRESSED!! YOU HAVE FULL RANGE AND WITHOUT "PHYSICAL THERAPY"!!!!! Try it!! I can say from complete experience that it works!!
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?

Hang in there. I am right now also 3 days out of my cast and external pins. Still a lot of swelling. I don't even get evaluated for PT for 2 weeks. Holes in my wrist. Almost frozen but small baby steps. We both have a long way to go. Reach out if you want.
@@antonyshani9705 Hope you mend well. I strongly endorse Occupational Therapy afterwards as it really loosens up the joint and breaks the scar adhesions. I really feel I've made great progress with the OT. Also, it has been less that 4 months for me and I did 4 pushups. Not much but definitely great progress. Best regards and good luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated... thanks
@@madanbilla379 take it easy. No therapy for 2 weeks then seek a pro. I too had bad flaking and a lot of pain. With therapy and some discomfort, I can do some pushups, but the professional Physical therapy was the game changer. Update me as it goes.
One year on from the distal radius fracture, it turns out it is a poor repair, some 5 degrees or so out, I find I am unable to play my previous sports of squash and tennis due to restricted lateral movement of my hand. It strikes me one is better off breaking both radius and ulna, that way they have to use a metal plate and screws to fix the fracture. surely allowing for more accurate healing? Rather than, "err, that looks about right"? Would I be able to get it reset by a more competent clinician?
I have had my Distal and kid shaft humerus fracture and had to go through surgery before 2 years, however I couldn't do my PT because of the pandemic, can I start doing it now??
I stupidly didn't realise that women have weaker wrists than men!!! My wife had her cast removed after 6 weeks today. Shed broken it after falling Sadly its not straight anymore. And her fingers are curled Any advice wud be nice
I had distal radius surgery in July n in October hardware were removed. I can almost make a fist. Morning are the worse because hand is very stiff n it feels like no progress, but during the day I work hard at my fingers. She should go as she can tolerate. I go on Virtual Hand Care in RUclips. Those videos are great! Have her do the stiff finger ones first. That's how I started. My therapist suggested I purchase a paraffin wax machine n I just did from Amazon. I also just started to do a hand injury yoga video on RUclips. It's a long journey that also affects us mentally, but Lord willing we'll get much better. I wish her quick recovery.

Hi, , thanks for posting. I have broken wrist both radius and ulna. 1 week now after cast removed. After a few days it felt better and I just did exercises like yours by myself. I see PT doctor in two weeks time . ( after 3 weeks cast removal as there is a queue !) My questions, the wrist sometimes feel warm heat up on the two ends of wrists but no pain.,is it normal? Also the doctor only saw the x-ray and said ok, cast can be removed and in the other room, nurse just took the cast off and after that not seen by anyone and got sent me home. The wrist is little crooked, is ok?
It may be too late you have to jump on this I could not move or bend wrist at all after cast came off I worked it aggressively ALL DAY LONG and got 100% mobility back.

Bro I had the same accident with my wrist both dis radius broke a wheel ran over my shit and it popped out I’m still in therapy but idk how much longer it’s gonna take my arm still small lmfao
Same here. A week after surgery, doctor wants medium to high physical therapy. Is that good? My bones haven't healed. Put that type of stress on it so fast?

@@lanxian610 hey i got a distal radius fracture and used this last month. after a 6 week cast my arm was better it barely lost mobility but it was just weaker so i tried this last month and it worked
s/p distal radius with T Plate ORIF I was very aggressive with working my wrist to get full 100% mobility back. It is crucial to jump on this to avoid permanent stiffness. Basically I just worked my wrist all day long watching TV and whatnot to get full mobility. After bandage removed I could not turn hand over at all or bend wrist up and down.
The same just happened with me. I just got cast off yesterday and almost no movement. They set PT a month away, what week after the surgery did you really start working on it? I want to get better asap
@@ryansersen9966 start working that wrist-bend it constantly. you dont have to wait for PT-I didnt have any PT and I got 100% mobility back. reply if you have any questions. As soon as my cast came off I began bending and pushing and rotating that wrist.
@bob carter , thank you for the reply. The doctors didn’t give me much information. When you started manipulating your wrist , how intense was the pain?? I feel like it’s excruciating. My fingers are extremely tight with little movement, but the pain is way less severe when I move/manipulate them. Do you work through the pain? Because it is insanely painful, this is after 12 days of surgery.

One year on from the distal radius fracture, it turns out it is a poor repair, some 5 degrees or so out, I find I am unable to play my previous sports of squash and tennis due to restricted lateral movement of my hand. It strikes me one is better off breaking both radius and ulna, that way they have to use a metal plate and screws to fix the fracture. surely allowing for more accurate healing? Rather than, "err, that looks about right"? Would I be able to get it reset by a more competent clinician?
I have had my Distal and kid shaft humerus fracture and had to go through surgery before 2 years, however I couldn't do my PT because of the pandemic, can I start doing it now??
My bones were broken before 1 year but still I can't stretch out my fingers what I want to do
Paracetamol wasn’t enough but gradual exercise helped.
Olá, sou do Brasil e graças a seu vídeo vou fazer minha fisioterapia em casa! 🙏❤️

salut je ecouter mon medecin dire que jai tendinites que pourrais vous me conseiller
I stupidly didn't realise that women have weaker wrists than men!!!
My wife had her cast removed after 6 weeks today. Shed broken it after falling
Sadly its not straight anymore. And her fingers are curled
Any advice wud be nice
I had distal radius surgery in July n in October hardware were removed. I can almost make a fist. Morning are the worse because hand is very stiff n it feels like no progress, but during the day I work hard at my fingers. She should go as she can tolerate. I go on Virtual Hand Care in RUclips. Those videos are great! Have her do the stiff finger ones first. That's how I started. My therapist suggested I purchase a paraffin wax machine n I just did from Amazon. I also just started to do a hand injury yoga video on RUclips. It's a long journey that also affects us mentally, but Lord willing we'll get much better. I wish her quick recovery.
@@maric4844 thanks maric
She luckily recently found a very good physio, and after only a few sessions has felt a huge improvement !
Will check out the yoga
Thanks so much. How long it will
Take to use the hand and it will be normal .Could I use it with the other hand bec. It is the Rt.hand and what about writing. Thanks.

Hi, , thanks for posting. I have broken wrist both radius and ulna. 1 week now after cast removed. After a few days it felt better and I just did exercises like yours by myself.
I see PT doctor in two weeks time . ( after 3 weeks cast removal as there is a queue !)
My questions, the wrist sometimes feel warm heat up on the two ends of wrists but no pain.,is it normal?
Also the doctor only saw the x-ray and said ok, cast can be removed and in the other room, nurse just took the cast off and after that not seen by anyone and got sent me home.
The wrist is little crooked, is ok?
That's what I'm worried about.
How long did it take for you to recovery the full mobility? How about the strength ?
We can't hear you
After my forearm fractured healed and removed the cast.. all the joints of my elbow and wrist are swollen,and painful to move.. is it normal?

@@pushbister8296 ok
Few days ago I have gone through radius surgery .now I'm unable to move my wrist.
Takes awhile to get back full range of motion, be consistent with rehab exercises
It may be too late you have to jump on this I could not move or bend wrist at all after cast came off I worked it aggressively ALL DAY LONG and got 100% mobility back.
Thanks for the video, it's very informative
Audio is low , but informativ Video!
Mam can you suggest any gel or oil for massage?
I’m here 2 weeks after surgery on my radius and ulna in my right arm from breaking both in a snowboarding accident. Had to get a metal plate and around 10 screws put in. To make matters worse I had a hairline fracture in my left wrist as well. Very informative video! I’ve gotten a lot of my mobility back that I thought I would never have again. I’m currently in a smaller splint cast than I was right after surgery and will be put into a small brace next week.
Something I’ve noticed though is that my right wrist sticks up a lot more and appears bigger than my left now. Do you know if this is from the plate or from being a bit swollen still? Will this likely subside at all?
Bro I had the same accident with my wrist both dis radius broke a wheel ran over my shit and it popped out I’m still in therapy but idk how much longer it’s gonna take my arm still small lmfao
Same here. A week after surgery, doctor wants medium to high physical therapy. Is that good? My bones haven't healed. Put that type of stress on it so fast?
@@wavyjay2455 hi, can you supinate your arm now? I’ve been exercising my arm since july 22 but my supination doesn’t improve yet. There’s a hard feeling from my ulna bone (below the wrist) that suppressing my arm to supinate. Should I focus on moving my wrist first?

@@lanxian610 hey i got a distal radius fracture and used this last month. after a 6 week cast my arm was better it barely lost mobility but it was just weaker so i tried this last month and it worked
What if I can’t twist my hand at all like it literally physically will not do anything but up and down
s/p distal radius with T Plate ORIF I was very aggressive with working my wrist to get full 100% mobility back. It is crucial to jump on this to avoid permanent stiffness. Basically I just worked my wrist all day long watching TV and whatnot to get full mobility. After bandage removed I could not turn hand over at all or bend wrist up and down.
Have you gotten it back to 100%?
@@hoperising7373 yes definitely.
The same just happened with me. I just got cast off yesterday and almost no movement. They set PT a month away, what week after the surgery did you really start working on it? I want to get better asap
@@ryansersen9966 start working that wrist-bend it constantly. you dont have to wait for PT-I didnt have any PT and I got 100% mobility back. reply if you have any questions. As soon as my cast came off I began bending and pushing and rotating that wrist.
@bob carter , thank you for the reply. The doctors didn’t give me much information.
When you started manipulating your wrist , how intense was the pain?? I feel like it’s excruciating. My fingers are extremely tight with little movement, but the pain is way less severe when I move/manipulate them. Do you work through the pain? Because it is insanely painful, this is after 12 days of surgery.
