Does your wrist still hurt after a fracture?

Persistent pain, stiffness, weakness, or limited movement after a wrist fracture isn't something you should ignore. Even if the bone has healed or you've already had surgery, ongoing pain may be a sign that an underlying issue hasn't been fully addressed.

Dr. Rabinowitz explains why wrist pain isn't always a normal part of the healing process and why identifying the root cause is essential for long-term recovery.

At the Center for Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, our team specializes in diagnosing and treating complex wrist conditions to help patients regain function and get back to the activities they enjoy.

If your wrist still doesn't feel right, schedule a consultation to learn what treatment options may be available.

Dr. Shah breaks down the human disharmony loop, a chronic pain syndrome of the upper extremity that often goes undiagnosed. Symptoms can include pain in the shoulder and upper neck, headaches, and limited range of motion in the shoulder and shoulder blade. Trauma, surgery, car accidents, and even everyday posture can contribute to this condition, and many patients see multiple providers before getting an answer. Dr. Shah explains the treatment: a 45 minute outpatient procedure that releases the pectoralis minor attachment, allowing the shoulder blade to return to its normal position.

Chronic shoulder and neck pain, resolved with a 45 minute outpatient procedure.

This patient had seen multiple providers for ongoing pain and tightness around her shoulder blade, upper neck, and trapezius muscle. She also experienced radiating pain into the base of her skull, along with trigger points and headaches. Despite treatment, nothing seemed to fully loosen the area or bring lasting relief.

After evaluation, her symptoms were traced to the human disharmony loop, driven by tension in the pectoralis minor muscle and tendon pulling on the shoulder blade. She chose to move forward with a short outpatient procedure to release the tendon.

Just two weeks after surgery, her trigger points were gone, her neck pain had resolved, and she had full range of motion with no restriction, after years of dealing with this condition.

Your bone healed, so why does something still feel wrong? Dr. Rabinowitz explains some of the reasons wrist pain, stiffness, or limited motion can continue even after a fracture has healed.

Sometimes a bone heals in the wrong position, known as a malunion, or does not heal completely, known as a nonunion. Even small differences in how the bone heals can affect wrist motion. In other cases, the joint surface of the wrist, called the cartilage, may be damaged, which can lead to ongoing pain or stiffness after surgery. Scar tissue can also form around the ligaments and tendons, making movement more difficult and uncomfortable.

If you have healed from a wrist fracture but are still dealing with pain, stiffness, or limited motion, it may be worth having it evaluated further. Visit the link in our bio to learn more.

Dr. Rabinowitz discusses some of the most common problems patients experience after a wrist fracture and volar plate fixation, including carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist stiffness, hand weakness, reduced grip strength, and difficulty returning to everyday activities.

Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, nighttime hand pain, or persistent stiffness can sometimes be caused by underlying mechanical or structural issues that develop during the healing process.

If your wrist still doesn't feel right after a fracture, it's important to understand that ongoing symptoms may have an identifiable cause and treatment options may be available.

Most people expect wrist pain to go away once a fracture heals, but for many patients, the story doesn't end there.

If you're still experiencing pain, weakness, stiffness, or limited function months after wrist fracture surgery, you're not alone. Persistent symptoms can have underlying causes that may be overlooked during recovery.

Dr. Rabinowitz discusses why chronic pain can continue long after a wrist fracture has healed and what patients should know if they're still struggling with their recovery.

If your wrist still doesn't feel right, it may be time to seek answers.

That throbbing or numbness in your hand is not something to ignore.

Dr. Tsai explains how symptoms like tingling, weakness, or loss of grip can be early warning signs of underlying conditions such as carpal tunnel, tendonitis, arthritis, or nerve compression. When left untreated, these issues can progress and begin to impact your strength, movement, and daily function.

Early evaluation can make a significant difference. While many cases improve with conservative care, advanced surgical options are available when needed to directly address the cause and restore function.

If your hand is not working the way it should, it is time to get it checked before it starts to affect your everyday life.
