i had fallen on my right palm n now i have hairline radial fracture. no pain in elbow but on wrist n forearm too much pain while twisting. dr advised sling and pain killer n he said it will heal no worry. 3 weeks now not much pain relief while twisting. how long will it take? is caste necessary/
Hello, As post hairline fracture the healing process is up to 4-6 weeks of the upper limb based on the type and location of the fracture. You shouldn't perform movements like supination and pronation as this will lead to pulling over the origin and insertion of the supinator muscle. Due to which the healing will be delayed, and the pain will not subside. I will advise to not do more movements of the limb and allow the sling to be on. Do hot water fermentation if the pain is constant. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
