Plate on my Radius
Hi, I broke my radius about a month ago downhill biking and had surgery. They put a plate in just where the radius meets the rest of my wrist. (Haven't seen any x-rays of it.) I have most of the original movement back but I can't seem to bend my wrist very far forward or backward. I also have limited side to side action. For example, if I am standing up I can't place my hand flat on a table. Is it just too early in the healing process? I can't even force it to go backwards. Is it possible that the plate is preventing me from completing these movements? Just wondering if anyone has some physiotherapy ideas that may help me regain full movement.
