The reason a distal radius fracture cast is bent is to allow the muscles to relax and minimize injury to the muscle joints of the hand. The patient needs to have a certain amount of bend in the cast for a distal radius fracture.
The joint of the distal radius has a normal functional position in normal state, is flexible, and is not vertically straight, if the cast is played straight, the joint of the hand is straight for a long time will make the joint of the hand be damaged. Therefore the plaster must be cast to adapt to the curvature of the joint to avoid unnecessary injury.
Patients with distal radius fractures must go to the orthopedic department of a regular hospital and have regular X-ray examinations. At the same time to maintain good rest, avoid the affected area sports and lifting heavy objects.
