Physical Therapy Exercise Program After a Colles' Fracture

If you have fallen onto an outstretched hand (or a FOOSH injury), then you may have suffered a Colles' fracture. A Colles' fracture a break in the radius bone of the forearm, very close to the wrist joint. It typically requires surgery to reduce or set the bones. You may have a long period of immobilization in a cast or splint after the injury.
