CASE STUDY:

To Exercise Physiologist,

Thank you for accepting Client B1 into your program. Client B1 is a 20 yr old male cyclist for Australia, who fell whist competing at an international road race 7 weeks ago and sustained a colles fracture of the right forearm (radius and ulna 2 cm proximal to wrist). The fracture was non-displaced and healed well with immobilisation (complete plaster) for six weeks. It is now seven weeks post injury and the physiotherapist reports nil swelling and slighty reduced (pain-free) range of radio-ulna and carpal movement. The client describes tenderness when the area is palpated and when bearing down on handlebars of bike (ie with wrist in extension). I have noticed significant forearm muscle atrophy due to the period of immobilisation. Please rehabilitate for return to full training as soon as possible,


Team Doctor
