- Eight months later, a latissimus dorsi transfer was performed, and ten years post-surgery, the patient achieved significant elbow flexion and extension.
We investigated outcomes of clinic-based hand therapy combined with a home-based exercise programme after anterior plating for distal radial fractures. A total of 102 patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a home-based exercise programme alone; a home-based exercise programme combined with four hand therapy sessions in the clinic; and a home-based exercise programme with seven sessions in the clinic. Mean Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation scores at 6 weeks were significantly better for the group of patients with seven sessions in the clinic than in those with only home exercises (12 vs.
