A member asked:
Is physio always needed following fixation of a fractured wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Frequently wrist injuries do not need therapy to regain range of motion. However if there is stiffness that is not improving fairly quickly i would think you probably would benefit from therapy.
