Can you weight-bear for 80 days with a distal radius fracture?

Whether a distal radius fracture can be weight-bearing for 80 days depends on the situation, if the healing is good, you can bear weight appropriately, if the healing is poor, don’t bear weight. 1. Better healing can be appropriate weight-bearing: under normal circumstances, the healing time of distal radius fracture is about 2 months, 80 days has exceeded two months, which means that the fracture site has been gradually healing, you can carry out appropriate functional exercises, and gradually weight-bearing and lifting heavy objects, but it is important to note that the patient can not lift heavy objects at once, it should be from light to heavy, and gradually increase. 2. Don’t bear weight if the healing is poor: due to the different physique of individuals, it can’t be ruled out that some patients’ postoperative recovery is slow and the healing of the fracture end is still not very solid, in this case, if forced to bear weight, it will not be conducive to the recovery of the fracture part, and even there may be a second fracture, so it is necessary to pay attention to don’t bear weight. The treatment for distal radius fracture patients is usually plaster fixation and splint fixation, and in serious cases, incision surgery may be needed for fixation treatment. Patients should rest in bed more often, and pay attention to strengthening nutrition in diet, and consume more high-protein, high-vitamin food, such as eggs. If the patient feels discomfort in the fracture site during the recovery period or after weight-bearing, he should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition, and do not use medication on his own.
