Cast removal
Fractures (broken bones) usually take 6 weeks to heal. This is usually the correct time frame to remove your plaster or splint and start activity. After this time generally physiotherapy is required. Dr Sahni will personally show you how to perform exercises for speedy recovery and in some cases refer you to a physio or hand therapist for intensive rehab,
