Wann strecken nach Armbruch?
Ich habe mir vor drei Wochen den Arm gebrochen, glatter Bruch direkt vor dem Ellbogengelenk. Für 2,5 Wochen hatte ich einen Gips von den Fingern bis hoch zum Oberarm, also komplett. Seit 4 Tagen ist der Gips ab und ich mache Übungen zum Strecken und Drehen. Ich kann den Unterarm soweit drehen, dass ich mit beiden Händen problemlos tippen kann. Anwinkeln (Gips-Position) geht natürlich auch gut.
Ich übe täglich zig Mal das Strecken, aber es wird nicht besser. Ich habe das Gefühl, es ist massiv versteift und weiter runter will er nicht. Egal wie sehr ich es versuche (ohne Gegendruck natürlich), er geht nicht einen Millimeter weiter runter.
Normal in dieser Phase? Brauche ich nur Geduld?
Ich bin gerade im Urlaub, noch 2,5 Wochen in Kroatien und die Ärztin meinte, ich solle nach Gipsabnahme für 3 Wochen mobilisieren (strecken üben) und ab Woche 6 in Deutschland dann Physio vereinbaren und noch mal Bruchkontrolle/Röntgen beim Arzt. Damit wurde ich nach Hause geschickt. In Deutschland hätte ich natürlich mehr Ansprechpartner, daher wende ich mich an euch.
Ich kenne niemanden, der nahe am Ellbogen einen Bruch und 2,5 Wochen Gips hatte, daher kann ich niemanden fragen, was normal ist. Kommt die Dehnung irgendwann? Also pro Woche einen Zentimeter und ich mache mich umsonst verrückt? Oder sollte es jetzt schon besser sein und weil es das nicht ist, ist es schon versteift?
Ich bin beruflich massiv auf meine Arme angewiesen (Texterin) und daher sehr besorgt, dass es immer so bleibt. Ich kann zwar schreiben, aber ich würde den Arm echt gerne irgendwann wieder strecken können.
Zur bildlichen Anschauung. Im Gips war es ein 90-Grad-Winkel. Nach Gips bin ich ungefähr bei der Hälfte bis zur 0-Grad-nach-unten-Streckung. Also ca. Hälfte von dem, was mit Gips möglich war. Weiter lässt er sich nicht strecken, er scheint zu blockieren. Gegendrücken will ich natürlich nicht.
Wenn keiner eine schlaue Antwort hat, muss ich die 2,5 Wochen bzw. wahrscheinlich eher 3 Wochen auf die Physio warten. Aber da dann schon 6 Wochen seit Bruch sind, habe ich Sorge, dass ich die Versteifung dann nicht mehr ohne OP lösen kann.
Vielleicht habt ihr ja Erfahrungen mit diesem Bruch! 🙂 Danke schon mal!

Have some patience and continue training. It comes, slow down, but it will come. At the time I had a 3-fold elbow break with bone tear and ligament overstretched. My forearm hung at an angle of 45° at the back and only blew at the tendons. It had to be operated and screwed and I had the plaster for 8 weeks. After a year of intensive training and weekly physio., I could move and load the arm again normally. I can’t extend it anymore, but that doesn’t prevent me in everyday life.
Thank you for your answer. What exercises do you recommend four days after plaster removal after 2.5 weeks stiffening? No exercises were communicated to me, the physio is to be agreed only after returning to Germany, then six weeks after break. Until then, she only meant stretching and bending, no more. Mobilize as she said. What this means and what I can do is just trying to find out.
My accident was in 1988, since that, of course, medicine has developed extremely. But that was also the case with me that I was only allowed to bend and stretch the first weeks without any burden. Gradually, very light weights were added under supervision. But I would advise you to listen to your Croatian doctor and practice only the movement and extension (angle and stretch, as far as possible without pain). With too much stress, I would be afraid that something could tear.
Very much. You very good improvement
Thank you for your welcome!! 🙂
It’s just day 4 centimeters. Go on, as before, and patiently. Too much is when it hurts. Leave your body and you time and do not have too high demands on yourself
Also turn the forearm to the side and bring the wrist back into motion (up, down, circle) you can train.
I thank you, so basically as before. It calms down. I don’t know if I’m doing too much or something wrong. I believe that progress is very good, except for stretching out. There is nothing, so I doubted. But all say… Day 4 after gypsum, relax, be patient. Of course you don’t want it to stiffen if I leave something. :
Just keep practicing. You can go up to the pain limit, you can swell auc. The more you practice, the more the joint becomes movable. You should find progress from day to day. The more you create yourself now, the less you have to do physiotherapy.
And what exercises would you recommend? Of course, I’ve researched a lot since no exercises were reported to me in the hospital, except, do so and do so (she stretched the arm up and down). It was a hospital, not a physio. Physio only from week 6 in Germany, she said. Probably because I’m abroad for so long. So I don’t know if what I’m doing is right.
The joints that were in the plaster move. Eleven arch stretch, bend, stretch, bend, etc. wrist bend, stretch, turn left, turn right, fist to, fist to.
Yes, I have always moved the joints fixed by the plaster in all directions for which the joints are designed.
On the Internet you find only hard-fitting exercises that are particularly useful for this break and gypsum (without surgery). So it’s hard to find out what I can do. But I keep training. Thank you.
It gets better every day. These are lime deposits which are broken down again by moving. You’ll see the more you try, the faster it gets better. I was surprised by my chiurgen: After a finger break, I worked intensively for a week. He was surprised that everything was already fully mobile. He canceled the physiotherapy, he was no longer necessary. I’ve been tortured to the pain limit.
Great, thank you. Faust, Faust even went well with plaster, I had started training. The wrist hurts a little, but works (although not injured). Avoiding elbows is good (previous plaster position), also turn halfway, but almost do not stretch. It remains in one position and doesn’t go any further. So just go on every day and hope that he will eventually move a millimeter more than before?
Patience is important and that you do your exercises regularly – even if it hurts.
Thank you! Problem is that I did not get any exercises at the hospital here in Croatia. She just meant in English, I’m supposed to run and bend, I’m doing so well I can, but at approx. 45 degrees the arm remains stuck and does not move further. Otherwise, I use it as well as I can in everyday life, so involve it in everyday movements, of course do nothing, but hope that it will continue to stretch and stretch. Without physio abroad, it’s really hard to know if you do the right thing. :/
If you were in a German hospital now, a physio would have shown you the right exercises.
According to your information, this was a normal doctor.
And then you just said the simplest exercises (sticking and bending).
Therefore do these exercises, and go to the pain limit and hold a few seconds.
Keep training! You can heat the joint beforehand, with grain pillows etc. Then let yourself help with stretching exercises. Movement is the A and O! Wait too long, can actually stay back restrictions.
How to help? I don’t know what I can do if it can be blocked and can’t be stretched further. Is anyone supposed to pull it? I thought this was particularly wrong after the break, because everything is still unstable. I had hoped it would be better day by day, but today on day four I feel no improvement on day 1. However, only in terms of straight distances, everything else works as good and the pain is there, but moderate.
Help in stretching. You stop when it gets uncomfortable. Then you have to go on a little bit. That’s why the help…
There’s the mistake.
In the exercise, the pain must be a bit stronger.
Because if you stop whenever the pain begins, It will be nix. 😉
Well, in December I was still at 105 kg.
And since I only drink Cherry Coke (only those with sugar, since I get from one of the used sweets, directly the cuddle), I am up to now, without any diet, slipped to 85.5.
But because of the drug problem, I need higher doses from home.
Even in the case of tramal drops, the dose level begins at Me, as high as this, according to the package leaflet, should only be administered in the hospital.
I take 2x 400 per dose, but I am also quite heavy with 100 kilos, so I was advised. The whole 3x a day. Bzw. I thought I could reduce it and took it last night only, but the receipt comes quite fast. I almost thought about the lasting pain and burning. They also mentioned in the hospital that I should have an MRT/CT in Germany, whether it be with the capsule. Since I’ve been an author for 13 years, the problem was known to me, it goes down and down, and I wasn’t surprised (only that they’ve seen it supposedly in the X-ray picture… but since I actually often have complaints and they didn’t know, something had to have been visible).
The one for the muscles.
The 3rd could happen to you that you could have this pain for your life.
That’s the same as my left ankle.
There I have also been in pain for over 10 years, after a debris break.
I was operated 5 times in total, the last even so that I am free of pain.
That’s a sentence with X.
That was Nix.
I hope it will NOT become a permanent pain with you.
If I use IBU, I need 3 to 4 600, per dose.
So 1800 to 2400 mg, but this is due to my former Illegal drug problem.
We can still differentiate pain. I have three kinds. Once a “smelling/eclige” feeling while moving, which I simply attribute to the unfamiliar movement, are certainly simply the muscles. Ignore. Then a violent pulling when you make a really wrong movement, such as when dressing once wrong or so, then it pulls bad for a second and leaves immediately. I’ll write that to the break. The third is a mystery to me. This is a burning, extreeem unpleasant, was also present in plaster and always at one place. I thought maybe the muscles or swellings. This increases when I burden him, so all day over and is gone for a few minutes in the morning after getting up. So clearly load-dependent. But this is also very extreme when I train. So what kind of pain should I ignore? Burning could also be an inflammation, right? Ibu, of course.
