Fluidotherapy in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures

Reducing pain and edema after Distal Radius fracture is an important part of postoperative rehabilitation. Various massage and mobilization methods were applied to this patient population in the postoperative period. In a recent study evaluating the effectiveness of Whirlpool treatment, it was reported that studies on the effectiveness of fluidotherapy are also needed. There is no study in the literature evaluating the effectiveness of fluidotherapy in the postoperative rehabilitation program in patients who underwent surgery for distal radius fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding fluidotherapy to the early rehabilitation program on pain, edema, joint range of motion and functionality after the cast is removed in patients who received conservative cast treatment due to distal radius fracture.
