Home / Conditions / After a Fracture
Your fracture is healing, and now the focus shifts to restoring movement and strength to the muscles and joints around it — stiffness and weakness after a cast or surgery are normal and expected.
Getting movement and strength back. Follow your surgeon's specific instructions on weight-bearing and timing, which always take priority over this general guide.
Also called: after fracture, after plaster removal, stiffness after cast · फ्रॅक्चरनंतर
increasing pain, new deformity, or a 'give way' feeling at the fracture site, fever or wound discharge, or new numbness/weakness — these need urgent review.
Your handout shows how to do each one. How many, and how often, is set for you at the clinic — it depends on the stage you are at.
Progress through these steps in the order and pace your surgeon advises — moving too fast risks the healing bone, moving too slowly leads to unnecessary stiffness. Mild discomfort during exercise is normal; sharp pain is not.
