@@agniveshchoudhary4291 hi, how many weeks before you can fully supinate your arm? I’ve been exercising my arm since july 22 but my supination doesn’t improve yet. There’s a hard feeling from my ulna bone (below the wrist) that suppressing my arm to supinate. Should I focus on moving my wrist first?

[@isloooo]

Its really painful for me physically & mentally. Just got my cast removed today.

[@sryavuz]

I also had distal radius fracture and had a surgery 5 weeks ago. These exercises are great. I do them each day in my breaks of work. They help a lot. I also found out that; actually using your hand helps a lot too. I try to do daily stuff a little bit more each day. I wasn't able to eat with my right hand, then barely able to eat 4 days ago, yesterday I was able to eat near-properly :) I was able to lift a glass 2 weeks ago, last week I was able to lift glass of water and drink, two days ago I was able to lift and drink from 500ml bottle easily. I will try 1 or 2kg bottles whenever I can :) Also, my next challenge is opening doors with my right hand. I will share the results :D

[@sryavuz]

​@@sonubhai1048 It's been 10 weeks I guess. I could open doors at 6-7 weeks or so. I can easily pour tea with 2kg teapot. Pronation and Supination is almost full rotation with a little pain at the end of rotation. Ulnar and radial deviation is still a little hard. Prayer stretch is at 80° instead of 90°. Btw, this video shows the exercises but does not show how to progress. At week 6; my doctor advised me to stretch until pain point for each exercise, then stretch a little more and wait 20 seconds. I've done these 3-4 times a day and I could see the progress afterwards. Also I did not try so hard until week 4.

[@lightespeed]

One year on from the distal radius fracture, it turns out it is a poor repair, some 5 degrees or so out, I find I am unable to play my previous sports of squash and tennis due to restricted lateral movement of my hand. It strikes me one is better off breaking both radius and ulna, that way they have to use a metal plate and screws to fix the fracture. surely allowing for more accurate healing? Rather than, "err, that looks about right"? Would I be able to get it reset by a more competent clinician?

[@mikejacobs2886]

I am 6 weeks post-op distal radius fx ORIF still wearing a removable brace totally out of Oxycodone post-op RX oh, I received a metal plate with 10 screws and literally have no strength in my left wrist at all. I'm wondering if it is gone for good. The pain is still pretty well pronounced I would say moderate-to-severe and I still have a lot of major post-op bruising. My phone was falling out of my hand I was backing up trying to keep it from falling and tripped over an ottoman, I stuck out my arms to break my fall and shattered my left wrist.

I’m here 2 weeks after ORIF distal radius and ulna head surgery in my right arm from breaking both in a snowboarding accident. Had to get a metal plate and around 10 screws put in. To make matters worse, I also had a minor hairline fracture in my left wrist. Very informative video! I’ve gotten a lot of my mobility back that I thought I would never have again. I’m currently in a smaller splint cast than I was right after surgery and will be put into a small brace next week. Something I’ve noticed though is that my right wrist sticks up a lot more and appears bigger than my left now. Do you know if this is from the plate/screws or from just being a bit swollen still from surgery? Will this appearance likely subside at all?
