What are the exercises for scaphoid fractures

After scapular fracture, the exercise method should be chosen according to the recovery situation. Usually, before the fracture end of scapula is not stabilized, shoulder joint exercise is not recommended, but functional exercise of other joints of the upper limb can be carried out; after the fracture end of scapula is stabilized, the method of passive exercise followed by active exercise can be adopted to move the shoulder joint appropriately. After scapula fracture, conservative treatment or surgery can be used according to the severity of the fracture, but in order to prevent stiffness of the shoulder joint, it is still necessary to maintain the mobility of the joint by means of exercise in the course of treatment. Before the fracture end is stabilized, active or passive functional exercise of shoulder joint is not carried out, but other joints of the upper limb, such as finger joints and elbow joints, can be moved through resistance exercise. Usually, after professional treatment, 4 to 6 weeks after scaphoid fracture, the fracture end has been relatively stable, you can carry out passive shoulder joint exercise under the guidance of the rehabilitation physician, and when the shoulder joint mobility is gradually recovered, you can carry out mild shoulder joint active activities such as touching the wall and climbing. In the process of exercise, under the guidance of professional doctors, shoulder activities should be carried out in a gradual and orderly manner, and should not be over-exerted to prevent secondary injury to the fracture end of the scapula.
