When will I be able to get back complete movement of hand and fingers after injuring it while skiing?
Patient: Hi! In Dec. I had a skii accinednt--broke my wrist and the cast was put on too tight for a period of 8 weeks--after cast came off my habd and arm were flattened could not move my fingers and i also had a frozen shoulder and after 6 months of phyiso and chiropractor I have some movement in my arm and hand--shoulder is alot mobile but still a long way to go--will I ever get full use of my hand and fingers back--I still cannot form a fist Doctor: Hi . These fractures of the wrist can be notorious for stiffness in post cast phase like the one you have. Your improvement is a good sign and hopefully over a period of time , you may regain full grip and functional movements.
