Note: Isolate supinator (shoulder flexion, elbow flexion for supination/pronation) and wrist flexion. Avoid combined elbow extension, forearm pronation, with wrist flexion until 3 weeks post op
10-14 DAYS POST OP Scar management is initiated lightly once sutures are removed. Avoid deep tissue massage as to avoid irritation to the radial nerve.
Patient education: return to light ADLs, no lifting over 5#, avoid activities with the arm away from the body with any weight, limit repetitive wrist and forearm activities.
6 WEEKS POST OP Initiate hand strengthening with putty and hand exercises. This cannot generate preop symptoms.

Note: A splint is not required at the initiation of therapy. A wrist splint may be added as needed in between exercises and at night. This is dependent on activity level and nerve pain.
