Summary
Rehabilitation with therapy (either physiotherapy or occupational therapy) after uncomplicated fractures of the distal radius does not appear to confer significant additional benefit over instruction and home-based exercises. Results from four small randomized controlled trials show that home exercises provide adequate rehabilitation, and that routine referral for a course of therapy may not be necessary. However, it is unknown whether therapy confers any additional benefit over home-based exercises among patients at high risk of a poor outcome after distal radius fractures. Larger studies using validated measures may provide more definitive evidence.
