What could have ocurred if the physiotherapy treatment for a fracture is over but now healed hand is delayed.?

Alot or nothing: Some fractures require extensive and prolonged therapy for full recovery, while some just need skillful neglect. The location of your fracture and how it has been treated to date, as well as your motivation to recover will determine your rate of recovery.

Hand physio: If it's your dominant hand, you could be unhappy and faced with long term or progressive restricted hand and finger movement, strength, and coordination.
