A 22 year old college athlete had his cast removed 2 days ago. Eight weeks ago he sustained a Colles’ fracture of his dominant right wrist when he fell on an outstretched hand during a basketball game. He presents to outpatient PT with reports of some pain in his hand with numbness and tingling in his thumb, index, middle and half of his ring finger.
