Distal Radius Fracture: Diagnosis, Treatment and Recovery

Jeannie Fitzpatrick

Just a few months ago, I saw Dr. Matthew Abola for a second opinion on wrist surgery. Dr. Abola, a fairly new hand specialist, is a compassionate professional who gained my trust with his open knowledge and calm, balanced demeanor. With updated x-rays and a supplemental CT scan, Dr. Abola was able to assure me with confidence that I would be able to heal on my own satisfactorily and without surgery. Alexandra then fitted me with a custom, lightweight cast before sending me on my way, thanks to a seamless visit managed by Jessica. Three weeks later, I was happy to attend my follow ups with Dr. Abola and his team at the new and convenient Paramus location at Midland Avenue, where I continue to receive quality occupational therapy with Taylor. Thank you, Dr. Abola and team, for getting me back on the tennis and pickleball courts!
