Post Cast Removal- Wrist Fracture
My mom had a wrist fracture and cast is removed after 5 weeks.
Now there is a lot of swelling in fingers and palm. There is stiffness all over and she is not able to move fingers and wrist freely.
I am attaching most recent X-ray.
Please suggest!
Thanks

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Commonly seen in diabetics is reflex sympathetiic Dystrophy. How is her shoulder movement.
She needs proper supervised physio which includes mobilisation of DRUJ and radiocarpal joint.
The therapy isn't easy and requires a lot of effort. Whatever may be the current situation it needs to be resolved in the next 4 weeks otherwise it becomes even more difficult.
