I had distal radius fracture a month ago. At first week and a half I got a backslab, then a full cast after swell went down. The cast includes my tumb and part of my elbow in a 90 degree horizontal. Hope this helps me a lot. I have two children and i'm a single dad. And having such a difficult time. Hope to recover soon and work. I just keep praying for you all ,that we get healed soon.
How is your wrist now?
i just had this surgery.I pray a successful healing over my body.
LaShonda Smalls how are you feeling now?
how was it?
Do you always need a surgery for a fractured wrist?
I’m getting two pins in my bone to
Hold it together on Friday
Christian Young i got same story
I had an open fracture of my distal radius at the wrist. Dr Dwyer at MHMH had to put a plate, pins and screws. Just had my cast off after 8 weeks. It’s still pretty painful but hopefully after physical therapy it will get less pain. I’m also 66 which makes healing slowly. Overall very happy just anxious to have less pain. DHMC IS A GREAT HOSPITAL WITH VERY WELL TRAINED PHYSICIANS.
How r you now mam.bcz i m in same condition now
Right now this is my situation now 😢🤕because fail down in my bicycle. hope i'm recover early inshaallah :)
Same here.
OMG I also fell off a bike,
Happened to me today
I broke my wrist, but not bc of falling off a bike.
Katiebird same I broke my wrist yesterday and it hurts like hell
Just had an op to put a plate on my wrist break,(colles fracture) this video had been really helpful to understand the procedure
If you have done this don’t worry it will definitely get better I can remember watching all of these videos 3 months ago thinking it will never get better but it does just be patient. I had a swan neck fracture and have plates and screws.
I’m really scared I will need screws and plates, do you have advice??
@@JackHandelman yeah listen to you’re doctor very carefully take all the advice they give you. Also I’m guessing you will have to do physio therapy, do all the movements they tell you to the point and you will be fine I have full movement back in my wrist and I snapped both bones in the wrist. Also I ordered a wrist ball of Amazon which I squeezed everyday. The only time I feel pain is when I try to pick something up that’s heavy with an open wrist, this won’t stop you from carrying the object you find a different way to hold. Hope this has helped you :)
@@garve1238 please be careful with lifting to much,be happy it works you Hand Don’t ever force something!
@@rosisunny9302 dumbo
i just had this surgery yesterday. I hope to recover as quickly as everyone is saying. Thanks for putting this video up. i viewed it about 10 times before my surgery date.
I am planning the same operation as yours. Could you please tell me if after 6 years you have any functionality problems with your wrist? My biggest concern is that i might not be able to fully use my wrist like before i injured it.
@@dreamreaver1218how is your present situation
@@venkateshyerubothu3097 I never had this surgery my friend. I went to a very good physiotherapist and fixed everything without surgery. It's been a long time now and i don't feel anything. I use my hand normally and i have all the range of movements like before. He proved to me that surgery is not always the best option and i was fucking amazed that i trusted him and he was right at the end!
I had this surgery back in August 2018. I've not gained all my movement back even with occupational therapy and do struggle with a slightly weaker wrist, but it's healed well and I manage to do my normal activities with work etc. No pain, but the cold weather can cause some discomfort at times and if I overuse it, I can get some pain and stiffness in the hand and wrist!
Did you get the plate removed? The problem with cold weather is caused by it.
Here the same in Germany I’m 66 and the cold makes it painful,but I can’t give up! I needed 1 month to find a therapist everything was full because off Corona, and 1 month in a cast! It’s not easy every Mornings Fingers are stiff again! My Doktor is to Negativ only interested in a OPs,but no good Advice 😢😢
l slipped whilst holiday in india side ways onto a rock..wrist was in terrible pain -no medical in the mountains..local hospital 1 xray machine not working...for 4 days l suffered pain and did my own bandages... back in uk x rayed... had arm pulled...x rayed again and had surgery and plates put in as l had 3 fractures... at least l was glad to be back home for the right treatment...even so it is very annoying at present unable to use or grip anything with the right hand...you mainly use your right hand to do millions of tasks using your right hand... l just pray that with the plates put in l will be able to use my right hand to do my every day tasks.... my local hospital was wonderful and immediately gave me the right treatment ...l can move my fingers but very swollen at least at the moment l cannot thank the doctors in the UK enough.... as the doc in india said at the time that l only had a hairline fracture! nice video... explaining the treatment....
How are you now?
Amyart5 need good Physiotherapy

my left wrist was treated by external pin rail, it need 40p days imobilitatione and 4 mounths fisio para recovering, still some movement limitation
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

When bending my hand forward, one of my many wrist bones pops up and next to it creates a dimple/crater :/ can't do pushups no more and my wrist pops now like my elbows and fingers do. I need an x-ray -.-
I experienced this kind of fracture when i was 8 and it hurts at first, i didnt go to.the doctor i just used natural remedy to heal it. And after that it goes back to normal the thing is when i bent it on the right side the big bone goes backward under my wrist and when i reverse bent it it goes back to normal. But i can lift heavy weights and i can do push ups. And many other things so it doesnt affect me in my every day living
I fractured my wrist when I was 8 years old. The pain when they set it is something I’ll never forget. I’ll also remember how I did not cry, I just nodded yes when they asked me if it hurt. I was in a cast for 6 months.
is it okay now? back in normal?
@@iMarvengr yes. That was 54 years ago. I’m careful about playing on the monkey bars after it rains now. 😂😂😂
@@abbierose32forever20 thanks for the info
finally a real video with real information!
i broke it twice...just 2 month after i broke the first 1...now its gonna take long recovery...wow shits happen
same bro i broke my left arm again twice 6 months after while im playing basketball. i feel bad for my family :((
i did it too boys
@@gabriellalo6720 same
How is ur arm now brosef
@@DarkoFitCoach good! back to normal, just I'm not as active as I'm used to be, traumatize I guess xD
My uncle who is 70 year old fell from bike and had the displaced radius. We were advised to do k-wire procedure for uniform aligned healing of bone. But a second opinion from an orthopedic concluded in using just a cast as it was good enough.
Older people (60+) are usually happy even if the functionality of the hand is limited after the healing process. Many of them don't even profit from physiotherapy because it's painful and they won't do the exercises because they just don't need to bend their hand more than 30° anymore. That's why they are usually happy even if the result after the therapy isn't close to the functionality before the accident.
When you're younger and still need your hand for work and stuff then it's a completelly different story...
@@JackoBanon1 Thank you Doctor 🙏💜🙏 I’m 66 and had a bike accident,The cast is making all Fingers stiff wish they using something else!The Ulna by me is higher up and the hand Root to short,I still Exercise every Day to use my fingers again,but need my hand for driving,because my Daughter had on Cancer in the brain,and I need to drive her! My Dr.says can’t use never the wrist again but I’m scared off calcification in the Hand Root so I keep training the wrist! In Germany the Doctor has only time for OPs and not for Advice 😢😢I’m so thankful to you 🙏 💜 🙏 🌹
🙏💜🙏 😅😅 The worse Szenario,can’t do Joga anymore makes me stiff and lost all my arm muscle, and to lengthen the Arm was 4 weeks in a cast,Im working with super light weights for my Back/Spine and on my knee what’s not treated 😢complete forgotten I’m learning JIN SCHIN JYUTSU for that.
@@rosisunny9302 Last year I had a complicated fracture and had to wear a cast for 6 weeks. The joint of my wrist literally broke into 6 different parts and they had to use a metal plate and 13 screws to fix it. Back then the doctors were very careful to give me a prognosis that was too optimistic. Instead they used to tell me that my hand might have limited functionality later and that chronical pain might remain.
Now - 1 year later - I'm almost back to normal. The plate and screws were removed after 6 monts, I don't have any more pain and the strength and flexibility is almost back to normal.
But I'm still young (34) and after the cast was removed I went to phyio therapy at least 3 times per week for 2 months and I also exercised a lot at home. (at least 3 times per day!)
That's why I made very big progress in a very short time.
I wish you a fast recovery as well.
I agree with doctor. Why always use plates, screws or k wires.
I did not have surgery because I was just inside the acceptable range. 2 almost two months now still in a removable splint.
Hope you all feel better. How is the surgery and them setting it in place?
How do You know it became symptomatic? Also after 1 year my wrist developed osteoarthrites.What should I do?
Right now this is my situation ,i need to some physiotherapy technique because my exam started ..
I fell in my shower due to sleep deprivation from working night shift at the hospital. 2 weeks later I finally went to the doctor and the claimed from X-rays nothing was broken but put me in a brace and sling. I use my wrist daily at work. They might do an MRI and I don’t know what they’ll do yet. I’m really scared
thanks i really appreciate your reply, and i would go to you guys to have me examined but i live in another country, well i'll get as much info from my doc as possible but i'm just kinda worried because its not like my hand is broken, it was but now its healed just that everything is outta place, my surgery is this thursday and i just don't know if! my condition can be fixed. but thanx again for posting helpful video's like this one, now i'll know just what to talk about with my doc.
Wow he's so direct and now I see my 13 year old difficult of dealing with right wrist sometimes the pain and bone deformitie after of the bone in my arm makes me so irritated and in pain but my ring finger knuckle I broke when I was 25 in june my knuckle is no longer there that's bad
I had a FOOSH injury due to a motorcycle accident Bilateral distal radius fractures. I had fixation surgery within 72 hours. I never got casted, I received removable splints. I'm looking forward to getting back to as close to normal as possible.
How are you now ? All movements back to normal ?
I broke my forearm in my left arm twice the second break had to be put back in place but i still have full motion of my arm after healing
I slipped in my stairs and had a smiths fracture. Was rushed to the hospital, its been 6 weeks now, my cast is going to be removed after 2 days, doctors had called the position of my fracture far from perfect, he called it acceptable and dint ask for surgery. I am very afraid what will be the condition of my wrist once cast gets removed. Will the doctor now recommend surgery.. Your prayers needed, i am dad of two very young kids, need to raise them by earning with my right hand which is fractured.
How is it now?
@@JackoBanon1 well, as expected it is far from perfect but after opinion of another doctor i was advised to move on with my life with the imperfect wrist, it caused me too much anxiety and had panic attacks, not one but 7 in 3 weeks, so had to see a psychitrist for it, i must confess i had anxiety issues earlier which got bad, had height phobia, panic due to traffic congestion while driving and so on. The doctor prescribed me ciprolax 10mg and Anderal, its been 2 months since taking these medicines and they have calmed me to a greater extent.
Any ways mate. It was really kind of you to ask about me.
Yeah i fractured mine on jan 30 now its feb 28 and still haven't gotten follow up treatment because doctors wont take my insurance. Im just gonna hope it heals correctly i guess, the doctors at the hospital told me it wasn't too badly deformed so hopefully its fine
I just did this a week ago and have to have a cast on for another 5 weeks.
I have a video on my channel showing how I did it.
Watching this during lockdown
Happened last year... Didn't go for surgery... Decided to go for non operative healing process...
I broke both bones in wrist. 2 surgeries later I have a T plate n screws pulled out the first time. Second surgery is 14 screws later it still hurts. T plate is stable.
Broke my right wrist (dominant hand) last Nov.,I needed surgery to repair it. The Doc put in the titanium plate and screws in the radius bone and wire to hold the joint together. After seeing the O.R. report at physio therapy I found out I also chipped the ulner bone. My right arm is now crooked. I am about 6 months post surgery still have pain and swelling at times. Working 4 hrs/day.Because I work in the grocery industry lots of lifting,I may be out of my job sooner than later.
How are things now?
Is this colles fracture?
If you put it in your mouth yes
Few days back my husband had fracture in wrist bone...had a surgery and platinum plates being inserted..is there any risk of infection or any other risk...pls reply doc?
There is always the chance of infection especially when you're using hardware inside the body. Other complications could be a non-healing wound.these complications can lead to a second surgery to clean everything out and replace the hardware. But that's pretty unusual. Just follow all of the doctors instructions.
I fell on my wrist during vollyball, I already had problems with the tendons and muscle's in my left wrist I has pain for 4 days is it broken
Haylee Kiddy I was power cleaning and snapped it it was all crooked but I grabbed it and reset but still had to have surgery😕😂
This procedure is just another good example of how the medical community in the US very genially advocates the incremental benefit of one procedure over another to boost its profit margins. How could you expect anything else from a healthcare system that is driven by profit? The profit motive works wonderfully for many things, but not for healthcare. The only way to bring down costs is to disengage the profit motive from the delivery of healthcare. That wont happen anytime soon.
cast treatment is most common treatment of these fractures in EU or other countries that provides healthcare for their citizens. i wonder why
Broke my distal radius after a MTB crash in April 2012, had a plate with 9 screws inserted, and after 3 months has gone as well as could have hoped. Have nearly all (90%+) my flexibility and strength back so much so that went mountain biking again recently and was not hampered at all really but didn't push it that hard. Occasionally will feel some pain and stiffness, also haven't regained all feeling in thumb tip or central palm area. See my channel for videos of crash and plate.
How are things going? Did you recover all functionality after all these years? I am planning the same operation and my biggest concern is 100% functionality after surgery.
It sounds to me like you are pushing the plate and screws over pinning bigtime. Isn't fixating a plate and screws internally much more complicated? Isn't this much more invasive surgery? Doesn't it leave a scar? Isn't it always better to perform the least invasive surgery?
I don't think so there's so much danger of infection in an external fixation and the pins and everything are sticking out where they could get caught on things and reinjured. I just had the internal fixation three days ago and already the pain is lessened and I can move my fingers so I'm really really happy with the orif. Still some danger of infection starting but I know what to look for and when to call the doctor if I need to
Hi Dr. Warhold,I broke my radius into 7 pieces at the joint but they were able to set it without surgery,which surprised all the doctors.I play the guitar and it was my left hand which is my fretting hand and i,m concerned about not being able to play.Have you ever treated any guitarists with a severe break? If so how did they make out afterwards? Thanks for your time and great video.
hockleyrambler hope it’s sorted now👐🏼
i do guitar i broke this bone. a few months after its okay
your fine, if you bump that bone and it hurts a bit just hold it for 4 mins securely and it will fix
@@nedhasbadaim8971 Indeed it has. I lost some range of motion but i can live with it.I have also taken up the fiddle since then.
Thanks for the reply. Cheers.
I had pins back in 2013 I broke both wrists at the same time I was mountain biking and had fell from over 30 feet to my hands broke my helmet in two and sat up noticing my left had was no long where it was supposed to be then I felt pain
i have a distal radius fracture, i find out tomorrow if i need surgery...im a boxer an im very worried that i wont be able to box for a long time...can u give me an estimate on how long it will be before i can hit a bag or pads again?
i broke my wrist in a car accident and iy healed and a year later after feeling fine the pain is unreal....and it has come out of no where
how long should I wait before I can carry heavy things?is it necessary to remove the plates?can I still play basketball even if it was not removed?
You can leave the plate on depending on your age. I’m 14, my body is growing now and having a plate in my arm is a problem. But if you have reached skeletal maturity then you should be fine leaving it in there.
Same problem but my problem solved without opration,, thanks sci hospital gk , dehli
How
@@प्रकृतिसक्सेना only slim plaster and some medicine
I fractured my radius on my left wrist but since this is from 2009 I only got a cast. No surgery! Mine isn't displaced that might be why this is my first fracture at the age of 10!!
I am doing well. I can't get in to the VA for PT until October 4th so I have been doing some ROM exercises from another TH-cam video. I have pretty good range of motion, I'm hoping that when I do see the Physical therapist that I can start some weight bearing exercises. Have a wonderful day!
Is the surgery of distal radial fracture possible in local anasthesia?
i fell 2 weeks ago and broke both wrists ,left wrist has radial styloid fracture,i have asplint on it and its painful but not as bad as my right wrist which is a colles fracture,this is in a cast and i am in extreme pain with it,i feel it right along my thumb and right up the inside of my wrist also the back of my wrist is really sore, i have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow as the dr is going to see how it is as i might need surgery....I fell outside while putting rubbish in my bin also i have osteoporosis.

U died?
@@venicetaylor1448 before he jumped he was heterosexual. Now he craves meat vortexes in his rectum (medical terms for professionalism)
How long after the fracture took place do you recommend starting with exercising the wrist,
and on a level of 1-10 to what point or level of pain should one go when exercising without creating any damages?
Be careful it’s a feeling don’t force it
,I count to seven and let go!And I’ll talke to my wrist and fingers,I’m thanking for every Milimeter it can move again!
hi my surgery went fine i'm in recovery now but the pain is crazy, perhaps because the surgeon had to break over my bone, i also have pins in to hold it in place i should take it off in about 6 weeks!
i have this plate inside my hand time(1,30)its realy amazing,it took only 3 weeks to recover.
Do you feel any problem? Now?
i'm 15, and had distal raidus fracture from motocross, was put to sleep and had reductuion and had a cast upto my shoulder for 4 week, i got it took off, had pain of stiffness, 1 week later its gone,, on the x-ray it was the healthiest bone in my wrist 4 week after i did it, the doctor was impressed.
Broke it during track and it swelled up to twice the normal size. The day of the surgery my hand was back to normal and it's 5 days since surgery and I'm back using my hand.
I had my both bones break near wrist on my right hand from falling on skiing. There was big deformity where my wrist went to right side, but it wasnt open fracture. My brother drove me to near hospital where they told me break was serious, they gave me anestesia and tried to bring it back in place. It was very painful, but succesful results considering how bad it was initially. I was put in cast and sent to my home town hospital. There they told me i will need surgery cuz my segments were not in line. I had surgery 3. February (11 days after injury) and they put external fixators and long pins going threw my arm. First day after operation was extramly painful, but it was going better and better. Now its 18 days after operation i dont have any pain. They told me they will get everything out after 6-8 weeks.
Yea in recovery been 2 weeks with pins and plates. If you need it then get surgery. if can heal with cast then don't do it. But pray about it b4 u go through it.
I have to get surgery on my radius fracture. I’ll be having therapy and a new splint. I’m currently in a splint and sling
Flip Tech same :(
Hello doctor I want to know that after post operation the patients need to wear cast or external fixator or just a brace is enough for 7 weeks?
Why are you pushing a plate and screws over K wires? It’s a far more invasive procedure
I have 2 plates for Displaced fracture of mid shaft of ulna & distal shaft of radius with dislodgement of bony fragments & dissociation of distal radio - ulnar ends. It will be helpful if you could explain the procedures to treat the same and some excersies to recover. Thank you.

It’s been a year now after my wrist fracture, didn’t have any surgery.
Doing pretty good, I have full strength, and still stretching every day,
My flexibility is about 90%.
Still experiencing pain When stretching, how much longer before the pain will
Not be present when stretching?
This happened on me for like 3 months is it fixable?
Same I had for 2 months but dont know if its fixable and it dont hurt but dislocated
I had broken my wrist and wore a cast. Can surgery be done after couple of months from the injury? Will it have some effect?
What happens if you don't get it casted, and just wrap it?
can wrist surgery be done on lymphatic arm ( 23 lymph nodes removed ) ?
I just broke my wrist. Shattered bone and displaced. I have been waiting two weeks in a semi hard cast until I have surgery jan.2. Ortho surgeon says I will need plates and pins for the rest of my life. I'll let you know how surgery goes.
How is it now?
That was really helpful
Doc' i just want to know if it is possible to bring back my dislocated wrist 10years ago
i shattered my wrist about 4 years ago and needed 2 on my radius and one on my ulna. I was wondering if you suggest getting the plates removed due to them bothering me and causing me pain.
I had wrist pain for 2 years when i was doing pushups in P.E right now im trying to find out how to heal it
For me as well they put plate in right hand .
Is it possible that can I go to my boxing class again?
I had distal radial fracture August 30, ORIF surgery August 31. Left with a splint. Nine days later had my first follow up appointment. Doc said I didn’t need a cast so that I could move it as much as possible and start PT, but DANG it still hurts when moved. Won’t moving it cause the bones to heal wrong?
Hey sir how is your wrist now can you lift heavy things or do pull ups??
I had this injury after getting slipped inside our classroom while trying to jump. The doctor said that a surgery is required but we cannot afford that kind of operation so there is no treatment that was done on my wrist. I've gone through a lot of pain for almost 2 months before it healed by itself and I'm able to move it again. It was 6 years ago but I'm still scared of playing sports
You really don't have an idea, that your comment was the one I was searching. I am in the same situation now, 😀 just that I opted for no surgery. Am so relieved to learn that it would heal.
Broke my wrist 3 weeks ago, my doctor said that in his opinion
I will need to have a surgery, investigating the subject a little made me
by passing this option, my break was at the Radius bone (at the tip) ,
however everything is in place, nothing moved out dramatically, was wondering
if it will be possible to email you an X-ray to have your opinion about the idea
of surgery?? Thank you
How did wrist turn out...I'm in same spot as you were
Fx on 2/19/11 surgery for a fx of the distal radius & Ulnar styloid fx. A titanium plate & screws used. 2 wks latter carpal tunnel surgery to help regain feeling in my fingers. I have complete feeling in in the little finger. I still have no feeling in 4 fingers, my palm is extremely sensitive. Is this a normal healing process? What can I expect? Do you feel a consult is required or I need more time to heal. I refused pain management and request OT.Is numbness Normal & for how long?

Hello Doctor, I'm from Philippines and I do have a healed broken wrist. The accident happened 8yrs ago. Today I'm already 25yrs old, my parents were not able have a surgery because of financial reasons. And for me to go outside I always wear a wrist watch so that it will cover the dislocated wrist but when I remove it hurts lot like unimaginable feeling. Is there a way you could help me or advice me? I suffer depression and anxiety because of it. I can't work or do well including physical activities 😢 please help
I broke my wrist in 2 places Jan 23 this year, I am in therapy now and can't turn my hand palm up, the pain is so intense it makes me cry when they turn it. Why is this happening?
Fell on my hand in football and when i fell it was bent so i have 1 pin now and i guess i have this fracture
I got this plate in my hands days ago
My doc told me he used surgical stainless steel for the plate and screws. Besides tripping the scanners at airports or for MRIs, is there any disadvantage to that?
How are you doing now? I had my surgery almost 6 weeks ago. My wrist feels hard and sore right on top of the incision.
Good, thanks. After almost 11 months have regained most of my ROM. Still feels stiff but not much pain. Hang in there!@@angelaallen2190
i broke my wrist in basketball how long is it to be completely heal?..
i broke my ulna and distal radius skateboarding, they gave me plates and screws on both bones. but they said i had to be in a cast for six weeks
Me distal radius fracture, druj disruption, distal ulna has been removed...accident on June 2021 until now no plan to put plate... Funny thing is my surgeon can't recognize where is my distal radius... So i guess that he is not the best surgeon.
Thank you for such a valuable video my son's wrist was fractured I ordered shallaki from Yukti Herbs after taking proper medication for 2 months without any side effects he got relief. Thank you Yukti herbs.
This is my current situation as of right now 1/11/2021. I have a surgery tomorrow. I really hate this 😔😭. This is preventing me from working and is not good.

I got radius bone fraction in 2007 still I am in pain.
Because the doctor doesn't joined the bone properly.
