Effect of MWM with Convectional Exercise Regime in Fracture of Distal Radial and Scaphoid: Case Study

Abstract

Background: A 27-year-old male patient had evolved a Trans-scaphoid Peri-lunate Dorsal Scaphoid Dislocation in right forearm and avulsion fracture on dorsal margin of distal radius and fracture shaft of radius.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical utility of MWM with convectional exercise in patients with distal radius and scaphoid fractures.

Study design: case study

Method: This study comprised of a case operated with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation with K wires and Dynamic Compression Plate to accomplish earlier fixation and union of scaphoid and shaft of radius. A rehabilitation protocol of 4 weeks was decided which include MWM with convectional exercise regime so as to enhance the dexterity, grip and pinch strength, functional abilities, wrist joint and the extent of supination and pronation at distal radio ulnar joint.

Results: Addition of MWM with convectional exercise show positive improvement in patients of distal radial and scaphoid fracture

Discussion: Patients who have undergone the surgery for the distal radius fractures. it is important that Movement with Mobilization added to intervention which enhancing the overall functional activity at the wrist joint. The Movement with Mobilization is focused on performing within pain free range of motion which increases the rate of performance in the activities.
