I would recommend you to start the Physiotherapy treatment earliest possible as it is very necessary at this stage in your case. Even though some of the wrist exercises are easy to do, due to stiffness and restricted joint movements at wrist, it may not go smoothly at this stage. Hence it's advisable to take the regular sessions with the therapist. A Physiotherapist will guide you correctly that will help you get improvement soon.
Next Steps
look for an experienced Physiotherapist nearby where you can visit on a daily or regular basis. you can always book an online appointment with me on practo regarding the same.
Health Tips
please present all your reports related to the wrist fracture to your Physiotherapist.

Fist to Stop Sign Make a fist. Slide your fingers up until they point toward the ceiling, like you're telling someone to stop. Repeat 5-10 times. Fist. Make a fist. Fan your fingers out -- stretch them as far as you can. Repeat 5-10 times. Basic Wrist Stretch. Sit down at a table. Rest your elbow and arm on the table and let your wrist hang over the side, palm of your hand facing up. Start with your hand in a straight, neutral position. Bend your hand toward you so your fingers point up toward the ceiling. Hold for 5 seconds. Return to a straight, neutral position. Bend your hand away from you so your fingers point down toward the floor. Hold for 5 seconds. Return to a straight, neutral position. Repeat 10 times. Do this up to three times a day. Wrist Flexion and Extension: Hold your arm straight out in front of you, wrist and hand straight, palm of your hand facing down. Bend your wrist down so your fingers point toward the floor. Use your other hand to increase the stretch, gently pulling the fingers toward your body. Hold for 15-30 seconds. Return to a straight, neutral wrist with palm facing down. Bend your wrist up so your fingertips point toward the ceiling. Use your other hand to gently pull your fingers back toward you. Repeat 10 times. Do this up to three times a day. Nerve Glide: Like the last exercise, you'll move through a series of positions with this one. Go slow and move smoothly: Bend your elbow and make a fist that faces you -- your wrist is neutral. Straighten your fingers out so they all point up, wrist neutral, thumb tucked in and pointing up. Bend your wrist to point your fingertips away from you, thumb still in close to your fingers. Extend your thumb out to the side. Hold that position, but turn your forearm away from you. Use your other hand to gently pull your thumb down for a little more stretch. Do this for just a few seconds. Repeat three to five times. Do this two to three times a day. Wrist Curls: Sit or stand for this one. Grab a 1-pound weight or a can of beans. With your elbows at your side, lift your forearm so your arm makes an L-shape. Your forearm should be parallel to the floor. Start with your wrist straight and neutral, palm with the weight facing down. Bend your wrist up. Return to a straight, neutral position. Repeat 10 times
