Stiff fingers and wrist after distal radius surgery

Sorry to disagree with your hand surgeon, but a hand therapist or a physical therapist is almost always the answer to difficulties after orthopedic surgery.
I repeat myself, but a surgeon sees "success" if the limb is fixed, the wound heals, the diseased organ is gone, and you don't have an infection.
A therapist or a physiatrist sees success when you can "live your best life" after the surgery. Fortunately, both my ortho and hand surgeons agree with this!

Sue, did you have a similar surgery? You seem to be very knowledgeable. We are going to be gone for a few days so if you answer, I may not see it promptly. Thank you for being our mentor.
