EPL transfer using pl graft.

2022-01-26 13:19:11
Dear sir, I am Dilip 35 year old. My weight is 100 kg. I don't have any sugar or blood pressure. I don't have any underlying condition. 10 years before a volar locking plate has been fixed in my distal radius bone right hand wrist area. Now after 10 years the EPL tendon has been ruptured. Now doctors removed the plates and screws and and EPL tendon repair has been done using PL graft on Dec 20th 2021. So now I am not able to move my wrist. Should I want to do any physiotherapy on my wrist or will i get back the movement automatically after some more time?

Yes after any repairs near joints, after the healing stiffness is expected. No it will not improve on its own. You will have to manually work it into its full range of movement by physically moving the joint. The range you will achieve will be the final range. So it's in your hands how hard you can work. Physiotherapist will assist you in the right techniques.

It is common to get stiffness after any procedure on wrist or hand . I presume you were in a cast for a few weeks after the surgery to protect the repair Physiotherapist under supervision is very important for good outcomes
Next Steps
Contact the index surgeon for advice / if unable review with all records with orthopaedic surgeon
Health Tips
Delayed rehabilitation will lead to stiffness and aggressive mobilisation may compromise the repair
