Influence of palmar tilt on wrist palmar flexion range-of-motion limitation after conservative treatment of distal radial fractures
Dorsal displacement of the distal radius induces alterations in the wrist joint motion axis, potentially affecting limitation in palmar flexion ROM. Patients with palmar flexion ROM limitation had more residual symptoms and longer rehabilitation period than those without. These findings may contribute to the development of evidence-based joint ROM exercises, risk management, goal setting, and rehabilitation programs for patients with distal radial fractures.
