Left wrist fracture
Hi all, I had a left wrist radial bone fracture which got operated approximately 2 months back and physiotherapy is going on. Its been 3 weeks and movement is not very great. Please advise how long will it take to get back the normal movement. Does it come or not? I do get some pain in night or early morning in wrist joint. Mine active movement upwards is around 40 percent and passive is more. It seems wrist joint has become stiff how much pressure can be applied manually to keep it moving. As per my physio my muscles have become weak. Once muscles become strong the joint will move. Is it true? Will stiff joint move with strength? Please advise in detail.

Dear concerned, if your radial bone which was fractured, has healed in normal position, definitely your joint should get back its range of movement, your muscles are wasted because of plaster immobilization, you need to continue ROM exercises
Next Steps
continue with active assisted exercises
