A member asked:

When can i return to weight lifting after ulna fracture/surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Healing: One an x-ray confirms that the bone is healed, you can start back to exercise. It is recommended that you start slowly and progress as tolerated. Healing bone needs to see gradual increases in strain so that it can get stronger. Good luck!
