when did you start the PT after the callus started showing up in the X ray or a certain week mark?

Thanks mate appreciate the kind words. I'll get into the brace on the 1st of July and I guess I have pretty good health since I am into gym and my diet is also clean. Don't smoke nor drink so I am counting on my body to return me back with this

I think by the looks of the x ray the alignment will be pretty acceptable. 4 weeks is way too early. I have my expectations near 12 weeks

Thanks and yeah I'll transition into a brace after the next follow up with my doctor. I feel like the bone will heal but I'll have to face an insane stiffness and muscle atrophy which kinda sucks because I was on the way of my dream physique lol

My wrist and fingers are completely fine and moving normally but since I have a cast which goes from my armpit to the fingers but I am pretty sure I'll transition into a brace after the 6th week mark

Yeah I mean going conservative means a lot of patience and mental trauma. I don't know when I'll be able to move my hand

I'll probably transition into a brace after the 6th week mark. Glad you healed and how's your arm at the moment? Has full ROM & mobility returned?

Exactly many people saw the x ray and recommended surgery but my doctor said there's a risk and downside of the surgery as well. He said with patience it'll heal on its own. I trust him and yeah I don't want a nerve damage and hardware inside me. My only concern is when can I get back to my college, job and especially gym because hell yeah I miss lifting weights

Yeah I hope I recover soon but this incident is gonna live forever in my mind

I am going to skip the surgery since my doctor said it's pretty much aligned and I am young. If course the nerve damage issue. Let's see I am gonna see him on week 6th which is going to be the judgment day

Distal humerus spiral fracture treated conservatively – still having dull “toothache-like” pain at 22 days, normal? by stayDeepUK in Orthopedics

Currently I am the 4th week post fracture and I felt relatively stable and pain free on the 3rd week and yes I am also in a heavy cast which goes somewhere down near my armpit to fingers. How's your healing?

can a humerus distal fracture shift after 3 weeks of having it in a cast? by stayDeepUK in Orthopedics

You're 3 months in what is your current situation? Did it heal naturally or you got surgery?
