Fractured Wrist..Tightness and Stiffness

(3 discussions)

I fractured my wrist(multiple frac) with plate insertion,in 7/04. I required surgery and have had therapy with OT. I would just like to know how much longer is this tightness in the wrist and stiffness, wrist, hand, fingers going to last. Iam almost constantly doing exericises.
How long will it last and is there anything else I can do? Enough is Enough!!! Thanks

    Hey, I’m with you there I broke my wrist back in June of 04 had surgery July of 04 and had a plate and screws inserted and I still can’t flex my wrist more than 40 degrees and thats after about 10 min of painful stretching. I am waiting to get a Dina splint to help with increasing the range. So if you find something that works for you let me know.

    I wish there was an orthopedist who would explain why there is such stiffness and tightness in your hand and wrist after surgery. Is there anything to be done? It is just so unbelievable, it feels like a mechanical hand. Help.
