Closed Reduction of a Distal Radius Fracture

Animated description of a closed reduction of a dorsally angulated distal radius fracture.

Just slipped on ice and broke my wrist. The doctors here in Ottawa Canada were amazing. I did require surgery with screws and metal plate to hold everything in place. Recovering slow and steady. Great video.

I had a reduction without pain medications or sedation and it is done of the worst pain I’ve ever felt

[PlanetMars]

My type of injury was Dorsal Angulation (Volar Tilt), and the ulnar styloid process was pushed up my forearm. So the Chief Surgeon moved it back into place, and I needed a Closed Reduction (the one from this video), and had a Fixation with kwires. Now I have a removable brace with velcro straps until I finish physio. All this from slipping on ice.

Would have liked to see a bit more of a moulding of the splint.

Anyone going through this hang in there, I had this done about 3 months ago. I had surgery 10 weeks ago and I’m feeling good during day to day activities. Can’t lift anything to heavy yet but I’m getting there

I had a closed reduction on my wrist in 1988.Thanks for description.

My four year old boy fell awkwardly at the trampoline park and fractured his wrist exactly as shown in this video around 3:09 min. It happened last week, just had x-ray today, and they gave us a follow up appointment next week, but that will be two weeks after the injury. Should I rush them to do the reduction earlier? We don't want it to heal where it is

[Rbrown]

Had this happen to me and I held those tears in

I also broke my wrist while ice skating, what's the good exercise for recovery? Thanks!

[rolleypolley]

I had this exact injury and procedure with numbing it feels weird

[alexarawdah]

Do you end up having to have surgery for a break like this? I just got this exact break and I have the same cast that is shown in this video, I’m terrified of surgery I just wanna know if breaks like that need a plate or screws or anything like that

My sister while on Machu Pichu, doing up side down standing on uneven terrain, it happened. She had mri and xrays when it happened, they apply the Cast and took x rays to confirm correct alignment. Back home 11 days later x rays to see progress in the healing, it looks all right. The md recomended fallow up x rays every 2 weeks. She will see a hands ortopidic specialist in 10 days. How much radiation is safe ?

Has anyone heard of their plate snapping in half? Mine has. My doctor has never seen it. I'm now stuck with a very deformed arm and very limited ROM.

[aoaoaoaoable]

Would this type of fracture restrict the range of movement of your wrist i.e. turning you hand around?

Hey! I'm looking for an animator to create short animated videos, any chance you can help me out?

Hello sir my 5th metacarpal was fractured (oblique fracture ), and it's just in position, doctor said just split is enough for 6weeks. 15days back split is removed, now 2months and 10days completed, but fracture lines still visible, how long it will take to go off fracture lines on x-ray, metacarpal fractured lines still visible after 2months??? how long it will take to disappear fractured lines on X-ray.. can I do physiotherapy because, fractured lines are still visible now. please tell me, thanks in advance..

i went trough this, the pulling is lot more acceptable when you're listening to music with closed eyes.
