Will my bone fracture stabilize with the splint or do I need bone casting?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You shall keep the splint on while you shower as reapplication is always a little tricky, and though you may succeed most of the time, it will be impractical if you are in a hurry. So cover it with a readymade waterproof cover with an elasticated mouth. After five weeks, there will be no need for a cast, so most likely, you will lose the splint then.

All the best.

Regards.

It is mandatory to keep using the hand to do activities of daily living like buttoning, putting clothes on, carry a cuppa, or something light. In addition, do fist often to drain the blood from the fingers. Weight lifting and push-up can be done only when the splint comes off. It takes two to three weeks after the splint is off to return to complete-fledged activities.

Take care.

Hello,

You can use a stationary bike as long as you do not lean on the handlebars as it would not have a power grip. However, if you feel pain discontinue it. As it is a sign that you are doing things too soon in the process of recovery.

I hope this would help.

Sweat is challenging to counter, really not much to add except to exercise in a cool environment. Also, you can wear an easy dry stockinette under the splint.
