I'm recovering from a fractured distal radius (right arm) on Dec. 15, 2023. I didn't need surgery, thank God, but got out of my cast on Jan. 24, 2024. I'm having numbness, pain, and stiffness, so thank you for this video. I lost so much strength in my entire arm too. Ugh.
I'm having the same weakness from the middle finger on up the arm. My wrist feels like jelly 😖 Incidentally I broke my wrist December 2nd of 23
Just broke my wrist 2 weeks ago, a plate and 11 screws. Thank you for sharing this video although I’m nervous to move my forearm at all.
How has your recovery been... Same scenario as you..
Great video, I broke my wrist and this video is really helpful.
Very helpful information. Thank you.
Great video thxx
typing this with a broken wrist, thank you for the video.
Thank you for the advice I recently fell 30 ft from a tree I was trimming with no helmet and managed to only break my left wrist since I can’t work I can’t afford physical therapy so I definitely appreciate this

I just came across this video at the right time having started my PT today. Oh yeah, I fell (pulled) down backwards as my granddog was enjoying a sudden exciting moment behind me and my hand was in the leash loop. :( I picked up Vd3/k2 drops yesterday thinking it would help with the healing. Thanks again rockin talkin Docs! Subscribed a while ago. 😊
Thanks so much Shirley! Best of luck with your recovery.
Thank you for the informative video. I was put in a splint two days ago and will likely be in a cast within a week. My fracture appears to be relatively minor, which is nice because I have almost zero pain or discomfort. Unfortunate thing is the fracture is on my dominate hand, so things have been interesting to say the least. Cheers.
You are very welcome. Best of luck in your recovery. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
I actually just fractured both of my wrists last month falling backwards on a patch of ice, so I’ve been out of commission totally for the last month. Still a few weeks to go, so I’m glad to find this video so I am better prepared for after the casts come off. Thank you!
Sorry to hear that Barbara but glad we can help! Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hope your bouncing around life again. A colleague of mine senior lady did that and drove all the way home to Long Island, I saw her from a fifth floor window. I called her and she had broken both wrists? The doc told her the steering wheel acted like a splint. God is good!
I did a beautiful job fracturing my left wrist! Ugh! My birthday is in a few days. I went 35 years without one fracture. I have to go see a doctor about some orthopedics next week! Thanks for going to school to fix us people who are clumsy 😂
I’m in the same boat! Shattered my left wrist while rollerblading at 32! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

How are you doing now? Is your wrist back to 100%? I am 4 weeks following surgery after distal radius fracture. Is there Hope?
Hi Dr. Brad and Hi Dr. Zalzal and Hi May, and to Patricia too for sure, (please and thanks)😊

Dr. Weening... you performed a knee replacement surgery on my father a few years ago. (Keating). I had been searching for information on my Dad's procedures that he had had before knee replacement. And I happened to see this video... And while searching... I just happened to have a cast on (& pins) for a broken wrist! Obviously I hadn't seen your other videos! LOL! With physiotherapy being one of the restricted services at this time, this video has been an immense help! And have just passed this on to my sister in law. She just broke her wrist last week... so this will help her eventually as well! Hope you and all are keeping healthy during this crazy time!
i know I am kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Cayden Xzavier I watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@Jaxen Karter definitely, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :)
@Jaxen Karter thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !
@Cayden Xzavier no problem :D
thanks for this video.... I did have physio for two weeks(start 2 weeks after wrist fracture surgery, metal plate and screws) , 3 times a week . The last treatment was with hot towels for 15 minutes around my arm and then some more "aggressive" stretches of my wrist, more painful. That weekend after that I could do a lot more and without pain. After the weekend I got another therapist, because of vacation. She put ice on my arm before the exercise and then a few more exercises like in your video, but 3x more painful than before the weekend. After that I had a bluish swollen arm for a few days and I slept badly, it bothered me. I've stopped for a while now, do my exercises. Wait for the other physiotherapist to return in 1 week. Anyway, all in all, this seemed a bit too pushy to me... ?I'm now 4.5 weeks post surgery.
Hi Terry. Every patient and therapist combo is a bit unique. Sometimes some trial and error is involved. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs thank you for your answer!👍
The “take it on the bucket” head choreography!! Hilarious!!
Hi Bebe. So that was actually not rehearsed. We had a laugh though after we saw it too. Thanks for watching.
Had a non displaced wrist fracture 7 weeks just got my cast off yesterday and gonna do home exercises until I see a physio because I really want to get back into weight lifting. Hope it's possible I am 32.
Should be. Lots of hard work.
Broke my wrist - radius and ulna. Plate and 9 screws. Can't even get close to any of these things; not even assisted. Typing with one hand. Guess it will take a LONG TIME!
Thanks your video sir, !after cast removed not done exercise 10 months over, still am having pain wrist fractured .
Hi Susheela. Not sure of the question. Definitely should do exercises after a fracture. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
I fractured my wrist a few month's ago, went from splint to cast and now a brace. I've been flexing a lot, range is still struggling especially side to side. Still having pain in wrist, elbow and shoulder same arm.
Just wondering if you guys use Toradol (Ketorolac) for acute Fx pain in Canada? A lot of the Ortho guys seem to be against it here in the US. Thoughts? I requested it a few years ago when I broke my mandible (apparently not all of us put our wrists out quick enough to protect our head/face 🤦♀️), and it worked fantastic, without the side effects of a narcotics.
Hi Betty. Yes we do. There are many different NSAIDs. Some physicians are concerned about bony union of fractures and fusions using NSAIDs. There are also the risks to kidney function and stomach upset but they are commonly used with supervision. Good luck and thanks for watching.
had a scaphoid fracture surgery with 2 screws in.. after 4 weeks of cast my fingers r stiff as hell. cant strengthened them. I'm having a wrist brace on for another month.. will definitely do this... starting with my fingers. thank u
You are very welcome coats. Yes fingers can get thick and swollen for sure. Good luck with your physio. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
How soon after a cast-removal should i start physiotherapy....(fractured wrist) ? Thanks for your video.
Hi pookpookpook88. You are very welcome. We recommend physio as soon as you can so often 1-2 days after the cast is removed. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and for subscribing if you did.
Hello, what range of reps should I do these exercises? And should I hold at the end of motion? Thanks
Hi David. 10-15. A hold is always good if possible. Thanks for watching and subscribing
What are your preferences for treating Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS, post distal radius fracture? Also what are your opinions on Vitamin C administration for the same to diminish symptoms?
Hi Denise. CRPS is a complicated problem with many different strategies to reduce the symptoms. They often include desensitization programs, medications including pain control, NSAIDs and nerve agents. Physio will often play a role. Topicals are often employed as well. The best approach is to get it addressed sooner rather than later and stick with it. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@TalkingWithDocs Luckily I have no issue with the same. Tricky business agreed, sooner than later options apply! Happy New Year to Dr. B. and Dr.Z.!!!
I broke my wrist and required surgery . I now have CRPS. Is there anything that can be done or to help this.? Ps. You two are amazing
Sorry to hear this Sharie. There are some specific treatment plans that include desensitization and physio but it is a complicated problem for sure. Inquire locally and don’t give up! Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thanks for the vid! I had my arm cast off 3 weeks ago after surgery for an ECU sub-sheath tear 8 weeks ago (an injury from 1.5 years ago when I broke my triquetrum). I wore a thermoplastic splint gradually less and less for the 2 weeks after, and now I’m out of that too. I’m trying but I still can’t pronate or supinate at all really. Is that normal? I’m worried it’s stuck because of scar tissue or something….
We would say that stiffness is common but the longer it exists the higher the chance it would be permanent
Is there any exercises I can do with my temp cast on. I don't want to be behind when i get this off but i also don't want to damage it more or not have it set right. I have been weight lifting can I continue with leg exercises or will the blood flow to my arm be affected while pumping weights? Thanks Drs
Hi Chantal. Sorry for delay. So you want to avoid getting the cast wet with sweat so sometimes you just need to really take it easy. Lower body stuff is ok with upper body casts and vice versa for lower body casts. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Im 14 years old, and I broke my arm (closer to the wrist) playing basketball on Easter Sunday. I got my cast off around May 20th, and my wrist still hurts everytime I try to do something. What should I do?
I fell from a 10 foot ladder, after 5 months im still in recovery, but i have trouble with having strength and doing physical activities. I also have problems with playing sports, i can't do the right formation due to mt back starts to hurts. When i feel my helmet went flying and the ladder feel on my back, what do i need to do, to get back strength. I always feel pain and much more, i have tried to gain muscle mass and weight, but whenever i try to do any exercise my hand cramps up or hurts very bad. What should i do to regain the strenght
I like the info. New subscriber
I feel like my cast isn't tight enough.... bc I can twist and move all of my wrist and hands... Not all the way, but a pretty good amount.... I've been keeping it moving as I am a mom and have no choice, but I was told movement is good as it bring blood flow.... But I feel when I get my cast off I will already be able to do a lot of this... Is this good or bad? Was my cast supposed to be tighter? My pain finally went away about 4 weeks in and the less pain means I'm doing even more with it. I hope I'm not slowly damaging it more if I should have a tighter cast... It is pretty roomy in here! I could slip it off if I really wanted to...
Can i do this 2 weeks after the wrist fracture surgery, i'm finding it difficult to do supination and pronation movement???
Very nice videos
New sub here for u but just 1 qns
After I healed a broken wrist will my wrist be the same as the other one? Asking this cuz I am a bb player and it might make a diff to my career my fracture is a Bowing fracture by the way
Hi Srikar. So it really depends on how bad the fracture is. Often younger people return to almost normal function. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
My wrists are okay but I came for your winning personalities! Actually, I am always open to hearing about good movement exercises ( especially for the ankles!)
Hi Chryseas S! Thanks as always for your support of us and our channel. All the best in the new year.
@@TalkingWithDocs You are most welcome and all the best for you and your patients in 2020! Keep up the good work - you were an invaluable source of information and comfort to me in this last year on my road to full recovery from two fractured ankles. I am sure that you have helped many more people with this channel.
Wrist fracture plate and six screws surgery March 25. Two days ago stitches taken out. Was given a removable splint. Is it safe for me to remove the splint and do the exercises that you guys showed on this video.
Hi Eileen. That really depends on the fixation. Would have to confirm with your surgeon. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi from London UK. I broke my wrist Dec 17th 2022. It was a nasty fracture CT showed it going right through the joint. I had to wait 20 days before an ORIF was done, prior to which I suffered extreme pain. Post surgery, extreme pain continued which developed into CRPS and infection. Pregabalin 50mg twice daily with 10mg Oxycodone is managing the nerve pain but there's always breakthrough pain. Unable to so phyaio properly claw hand remains. Unable to make a fist. Another surgery was done 4 weeks ago to remove plate and screws and carpel tunnel decompression. Nerve pain is still through the roof. When I do physio fingers swell, and pain begins.😢😢 Struggling with it now and very scared will lose the use of my hand as I am unable to grip or form a fist. Using anti inflammation meds and oramorph PRN. Taking turmeric, vit c, zinc supplements.
I need a second opinion. Please assist me here. What do I do. I realise my situation is complex.Thank you!
Hi A. Sorry to hear this but it can happen for sure. A second opinion locally is a great idea but it sounds like you are doing everything you need to. Often just time. Best of luck
Hi, how are you doing now?
Got three weeks to go.
I can still play my🎷😉
I'm 19 years old right now with a Minor fracture on my right wrist. My doctor gave me a wrist and forearm splint. It's been almost 3 weeks now and I'm worried when will I be able to move my wrist properly. I guess the doctor will tell me to remove my splint by next week! But I'm not sure if my arm is ready or not...Please reply !
Hi Gtx. They will do an xray and reassess. Good luck. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
I broke both my wrist many years ago. Never been the same since. The cold weather made them hurt, but that went away. I can't lift heavy weights because I will reinjure myself. Sucks! Today, they should have technology and medicines that will make you heal better and faster.😉

Depending on your specific situation, supination can wait until a little later. First things to recover are range of motion in pronation and in neutral position (thumb facing upwards). There are many more exercises that you can do that you don't see on this video.
So yes there are unlimited exercises you can do. We would tend to disagree though as pronation is almost always close to normal right away. Neutral thumb position is 0 supination which most people have right away. Supination and extension are most commonly the hardest ones to get back. Thanks for watching
@@TalkingWithDocs I think I explained myself poorly. I meant what you said. Pronation and 0 supination are easy even post-op. I fractured my wrist on April 3rd and got operated on April 20th to reduce it with plate+screws and right now I'm 30 days post op and still having trouble with supination and full range of motion up/down and left/right. I guess that's pretty normal at this stageI've already started FKT but I'm not seeing that much progress unfortunately. The stiloid hurts like hell if supination is forced passively. :(
Yea got a screw in my scaphoid last 16th can do all these at a minor level, that’s definitely the worst
@@giovanbattistafichera8439Hi, how are you doing now?
I was put in a short cast today, coming off 4 weeks of a long cast, is there any type of exercises I can do at this point?
Hi Santino. Usually we will get the patients to work on flexion and extension. Once the cast is off you can work on rotation. Hope that helps. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
Yesterday I was lifting heavy bags of soil and I lifted one of them too fast that I felt my wrist bone pop out for a second but it went back in. Is it something I should worry about?

Hello doc,
I had volar barton fracture on my right wrist 2 weeks ago . Orif with plate and screws were used to fix it 2 days after fracture. Cast has been removed and i have been given splint and told to keep moving my fingers . From next week my physio will start .
I have always been active in gym and calisthenics. I wonder if ill ever be able to get back ?
Whats your opinion about it
(My age is 22 btw(
Often you will. Just need time for the bone to heal and then lots of physio
@@TalkingWithDocs thnx doc . Hope is a good thing
I call 911 I get emergency 000 in Australia - Hmm! I just had a double break cast removed. My wrist is so swollen and hot, like its burning and its painful and stiff. The day
I broke my wrist the emergency dept in our small town hospital was almost empty. I had to sleep on it and drive myself to a large hospital the next day.
Hi ratcat. Hope things get better for you. Likely need some physiotherapy. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing if you did.
Helloo doc n doc. I’m 62 yr old grandma & I did a not so graceful FOOSH on ice march 3. Had surgery the 10th. Surgeon never stopped in n said surg went well or nothing. I got plates n screws but I don’t know anything else. The day after surg tho I got a call from drs office and was asked… “are you doin your pronate /supinate exercises ?” I said I was TRYING but could NOT get my arm to turn that far. So here I am… 5 days post op. I still can’t pro or sup. And my thumb dosent move much at all either. I thought you’re sposed to go slow n let bones heal some before doing to much exercises ? When I try to pro/sup now it feels like my wrist bone is jamming up against the splint. Aka… splint is to tight to allow much movement. Or… it just plain hurts like hell. I tried callin docs but had to leave a VM, and they never called me back.
Hi mari. Early on it can be quite painful and the splint can be limiting. Do your best. Likely have a follow up at 2 weeks. All the best. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I had surgery..doctor fixed platinum plate..into the wrist.. shall I continue with this expertise

Hey I am 13 so I hurt my wrist and I took an x ray. The report says there is a possibility of plastic fracture what does this mean?

What kind of anesthetic is used while a broken wrist is re-set, is the patient completely unconscious ?
Hi pookpookpook88. So usually it would be propofol and possibly ketamine. There are many other combinations but they are designed to make you sedated, reduce your pain and often forget. Great question. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.

Our reflexes will automatically induce the hands to come forward to protect our head when falling whether we wear a helmet or not. I don't know if you guys have made a joke or don't know about body reflexes

Hurt head with helm / helmet & almost broken neck isn't smart ! But using elbow's to prevent it is better ! Less likely to break ! Strained wrist hurts but heals if you don't have a demanding FAMILY" / life" & can sit for days to heal right ! You'll be better than OKAY"! But rotation & movement is wise !... But don't over due it ! When you know your going to take it easy that day, exercise after resting ! Than rest more !

Hello
I have recently, 3 months ago snapped my wrist. I did this by falling of my bike on a high jump In wolverly England. I broke my radius and my ulna. I have plate and screws inside of it and it’s getting a lot better. It’s still stif as anything but the movement is coming back. Yes I was wearing a helmet but can I say when you are falling from a large height you would definitely not let you’re head take the damage Evan with a helmet on.

I unfortunately had a Galleazzi fracture this summer requiring plates for the open reduction of the radius and pins for the closed reduction of the radioulnar joint.
Cast came off 33 days after surgery. I’m 57 years old.
I’m also a musician playing lots of piano and guitar and pronation is particularly important- was my right hand.
Supination is easy however I can barely pronate the hand beyond the anatomic position without considerable pain in the ulnar area of the rest. Although it’s only been the second day, should I expect this to subside should this be a concern? Because I’m kind of concerned lol.
Thanks
HI anthony. So it can be difficult to regain range of motion. On day 2 don't be too concerned but if it does not improve get seen sooner rather than later. Good luck. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
