Description
This course will teach physical and occupational therapists how to evaluate and treat patients recovering from a distal radius fracture. The course consists of a review of wrist and forearm anatomy, risk factors and basic pathophysiology of these fractures, types of fractures, and some of the most commonly occurring complications. The course examines conservative treatment, surgical intervention, and the types of surgery most often performed. Throughout the course, therapist tips provide information to help therapists focus on successful intervention. The section on post-fracture therapy care discusses a thorough evaluation of patients with distal radius fractures and presents a variety of successful treatment approaches. The course is designed to help therapists achieve the best possible functional outcomes with their patients.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***COURSE OBJECTIVES***After successfully completing this continuing education course, the learner should be able to: • Name risk factors associated with incurring a distal radius fracture (DRF) • Recognize anatomical attributes that contribute to the effect of DRFs on function • Describe the primary types of extra-articular and intra-articular distal radius fractures • Explain the epidemiology of such fractures • Summarize surgical interventions for different types of DRFs • Develop therapeutic interventions for various types of distal radius fractures • Recognize complications associated with these fractures • Design comprehensive treatment approaches to help patients regain function • Recognize when to refer patients for specialized care

Course Reviews
No nonsense, down to earth course for PTs. This is one of the best I have ever taken. No unnecessary academic posturing. You find the answers to most pertaining questions concerning patients with wrist fracture. I would like to encourage the author to produce many more like this one. Thanks. MWM, Ellicott City, MD

This is probably the most concise, best written course I have taken from your company. Loved it! Very clinically practical!
Lynda M. – NM PT, Dec. 28, 2015
I really appreciated the "therapist tips" sections and the examples of exercises to use in the clinic as well as the review of the examination portion of our treatment.

This was a good review of basics and reminder of classification systems. Could have used clinical examples to demonstrate progression of fracture rehab. Overall, very good.

Very in-depth information that was easy to follow and understand. I have been treating wrist fractures for a long time but I learned some new information. I like the "Therapist Tips" sections too!
