Effect of Early Mobilization of Uninvolved Joints in Surgically Treated and Conservatively Treated Colle’s Fracture

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of early mobilization of uninvolved joints among conservatively treated Colles’ fracture and surgically treated Colles’ fracture. Methodology: A Quasi-experimental two-group parallel post-test study design was used to determine the effectiveness of early mobilization in surgically and conservatively treated Colles’ fractures. Grip strength, Pain, Disability and Quality of Life were used as post-analysis outcome parameters after the intervention period of 4 weeks. Results: The study shows no statistically significant differences in between post test scores of both the groups. Conclusion: The study concluded that it remained debatable whether using ORIF or Plaster cast as the treatment of choice for traumatic Colles’ fracture followed by mobilization of uninvolved joints in the initial one month.
