    What I Should Do ? Surgery Or Physiotherapy?

    Physical Agents In Rehabilitation
    Hi

    I have car accident on 23 December I have been diagnoses post RTA with a fractured distal end of radius and they at the hospital the put plaster to 1 of February after that I have limited movement of my hand and my thump and pain increasing everyday’s then I went other hospital after seeing my X ray they said I have paramount damage to my wrist because they were should using K wire instead of just plaster.

    The last thing I have been told “On future you may need surgery but now just Physiotherapy “

    The main hospital that I have been treated in keep says "You do not need anything just Physiotherapy for five or six weeks and your hand be normal". Is this true?

    I have included my X ray on 23 December and 9th February.

    Direct link to my X ray Right click and save target as

    from 23 December 2008

    I have ask some doctor witch said I have to do surgery before do the Physiotherapy
    But the main hospital keep says just Physiotherapy
    The problem now and why I cannot give them my full trust
    The injury was on duty and the hospital that I treat on it belonged to my work and Physiotherapy doing with someone from the main hospital so he will never tell me to stop the Physiotherapy.
    They make mistakes by not doing the K wire.
    So all of them I cannot trust them back easily.


    For now should I stop the Physiotherapy?
    I feel like the pain increased every day after the Physiotherapy Is it normal?
    Is it normal the pain not decreased even after hot pad and electric adjusted to 52 mA ?
    Is it really that after Physiotherapy I will restore my fully hand movement ?
    I can fell my Ulna moving aginst other bone and like click sound from my wrist is this OK?
    After Physiotherapy the pain increased and I feel heat from my wrist all time, Is this normal ?
    What is mean feeling heat from the Ulna in the point the Ulna meat the wrist?

    Is my hand have deformity or malunion ?

    Re: What I Should Do ? Surgery Or Physiotherapy?

    well..

    as of now now i think u sud stop physio for sometime ... bt after few days i think u sud start again once the pain comes a lil down .. the reason i m saying is because we try to prevent any kind of
    stiffness
    muscle weakness
    swelling
    malunion
    functionalibilty of that part of ur body
    why is it important is beacuse if u dnt undrgo the treatment that aprt from the regular problems of pain and all u may later develop problems mentiones here
