Helping your wrist to
recover after a fracture
Information for patients
This leaflet gives you advice and exercises to help your wrist to
recover after your fracture. Now that you have had your cast
removed it is very important that you use your wrist as normally
as possible. At first your wrist will feel stiff and possibly painful.
This is because it has been held in one place by the plaster.
