What is a Loco Tipico fracture?
Loco Tipico fracture usually occurs in a fall on an outstretched arm. The radius bone, which is located in the lower forearm, takes the impact and fractures near the wrist. Treatment often involves immobilization with a cast or surgery if the fracture is complex. Once the cast or stabilising splints are removed, the real challenge begins - restoring movement and function to the wrist
The main symptoms and challenges after a wrist fracture:
- Stiffness and pain: After immobilization, the wrist is often stiff, and even the most ordinary movements can cause pain.
- Slimming of muscles: Prolonged immobilization leads to loss of strength in the forearm and wrist muscles.
- Limited range of movement: Simple actions such as grasping objects or twisting the wrist may seem impossible.
- Swelling and decreased sensitivity: In the area of trauma, edema and impaired sensation are often observed
The most effective physiotherapeutic approaches to recovery after wrist fracture:
- Joint mobilization: In the beginning, passive exercises are used to restore mobility, which gradually progress to active movements.
- Range of motion exercises: We will show you exercises that aim to restore flexibility in the wrist, hand and fingers so you can once again perform your daily activities with ease.
- Strengthening the muscles: By working with light weights, rubber bands or soft balls we will strengthen the muscles of the forearm and wrist. This will help restore grip and stability to the arm.
- Proprioceptive training: Exercises that improve your sense of wrist position and movement will give you back control and confidence.
- Massages and manual therapy: Through specialized techniques we will help relieve stiffness, improve circulation and reduce swelling.
- Apparatus and physiotherapy: Ultrasound therapy, laser and electrostimulation help soft tissue repair and reduce pain.
What is the forecast?
After a Loco Tipico fracture, recovery usually takes between 6 and 12 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury and your persistence in therapy. During the first few weeks we will focus on restoring motion, then move on to strengthening and full functional recovery.With proper rehabilitation, many patients are able to recover up to 100% of hand and wrist function, returning to their active lifestyle.
