Treating Distal Radius Fractures at Dartmouth Health

[@amelioacosta]

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.

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.

I’m really scared I will need screws and plates, do you have advice??

[@garve1238]

@@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.

How is it now?

[@isloooo]

@@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.

[@bandu2512]

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.

[@JackoBanon1]

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]

@@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.

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.

[@rumit9946]

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.

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?

[@rosisunny9302]

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!

[@fangchick93]

My doctor thinks I did this but I’m waiting for an mri to be certain. In the mean time he wants me to get a wrist brace

[@jackscully3949]

Why are you pushing a plate and screws over K wires? It’s a far more invasive procedure

[@bkahawia4613]

I did this falling backwards in basketball and am in a temporary cast and getting a new one in 3 days then no basketball for 5 months

[@devithsan6876]

BKAHAWIA I know how u feel

[@HARMARSCH2]

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.

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.

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.

[@tango0032]

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.

+auntjojo1980 how you feeling now after one year

[@jojober1980]

+Baoussous Youssef I am not in severe pain anymore but do have pain with certain movements, have lost some function and am numb in lower palm to whole wrist area, to be fair I dd almost lose this arm when I was 11 and went through glass plate window, had 4 hour surgery to repair nerves, artery and veins, tendons, etc...funny thing is other than some numbness & a nasty scar (150 stitches ) I was ok, this break really messed me up, now have arthritis in the wrist and forearm joints since break too...lol aren't u glad you asked me how I was a year later...thank you though, you are very kind ;)

[@Joseph-fu9kl]

I'm sorry this has happened to you. I wish I could help you. If there is anything I can do, please let me know and yes i'm very glad i ask you

[@firgozoran]

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?

[@jenelsterling]

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?

[@gheorghemalic8414]

[@xtoau]

[@Ankitkhullar55]

[@thizarover2196]

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.
