How Long Ulna Styloid Fractured Wrist Take To Regain Its Movement?
I broke my wrist exactly 8 weeks ago (comminuted distal radius and ulna styloid fracture). I had K-wiring (2 pins) inserted in my wrist to keep the bone in place. Exactly one month after the operation I had my cast taken off. The wrist was so weak and painful I was afraid of even touching it. The hospital gave me a splint cast (that i was able to remove for hygiene purposes and also to start exercising the wrist. I progressed a bit detal since my permanent cast was taken off 3 weeks ago, but still my wrist is a long way to gain the previous flexibility, strength and movement it enjoyed before my accident. My question is, how long does the stiffness period normally ( a decent average) last? How long until the damaged hand has regained a range of movement that doesn't feel like crippled anymore? I am very dedicated to my therapy.
