Can a distal radius fracture remain fractured after 60 days of exercise?

It is not recommended to do your own exercises at 60 days of a distal radius fracture. Self-exercise at this time has the potential for re-fracture. Rehabilitation exercises, if any, should be performed under the supervision of a physician. Distal radius fracture is a common type of limb fracture, after the fracture occurs, it is usually fixed by plaster or internal fixation surgery, and still need to be braked after the operation to avoid misalignment or re-fracture of the fracture, which will affect the healing. Usually it takes 3 months for the fracture to recover, so 60 days after the fracture has not reached the clinical healing time. Self-exercise or forced exercise at this time carries a higher risk of re-fracture. However, the fact that self-exercise is not recommended does not mean that rehabilitation under the supervision of a physician is not allowed. As long as the fracture is firmly immobilized in an internal fixation or cast, rehabilitation can usually be started within one week after the onset of the fracture under the supervision of a physician. In the early stages, the main focus is on joint mobilization of the fingers, elbow and shoulder to reduce edema and avoid stiffness in the adjacent joints. Subsequently, the training will be gradually adjusted as the fracture healing progresses. The 60-day rehabilitation program for distal radius fracture should be carried out under doctor’s supervision to avoid secondary injury.
