I had a colles fracture for which they did orif and put a plate...its been 4 weeks now when can I drive a manual car?
Usually patients after orif are able to drive if the recovery is satisfactory and there is no pain on certain movements at wrist.
Though the final decision is taken only after clinical and radiological x-ray examination.
