Aftercare | Surgery of a wrist fracture

Aftercare

Follow-up treatment is particularly important in the case of wrist fractures. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are used as early as possible to restore the original freedom of movement. After 6 weeks of immobilization, muscles have regressed and tendons have shortened.

The task of physiotherapy is now to carefully restore the functionality of the hand. But even after an operation, many patients feel insecure and do not know how much they can trust their hand. For this reason, a multidisciplinary team gets patients used to their daily tasks again, so that a smooth transition between discharge from the hospital and resuming an independent life is possible.
