Distal Radius Fracture Surgery in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania

At Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, Dr. Mark Ayzenberg performs distal radius fracture surgery to restore wrist function and mobility after one of the most common wrist injuries adults face. A distal radius fracture happens when the larger bone in your forearm breaks near the wrist, often from a fall on an outstretched hand. Dr. Ayzenberg works with each patient to determine whether surgery is the right path, and when it is, he moves quickly to get your wrist stable and healing.

Why Choose Us for Distal Radius Fracture Surgery

Dr. Ayzenberg is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with a focused practice at Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. Patients in this area want a surgeon who has seen these fractures before, knows when to operate and when not to, and can walk them through recovery clearly. That is what you get here. He takes time to explain your X-rays, your fracture pattern, and what surgery involves before you ever sign anything.

The practice also offers non-surgical orthopaedic care, including PRP therapy, for patients whose injuries allow it. If your fracture can be managed without an operation, Dr. Ayzenberg will tell you that directly. When surgery is necessary, you can trust that recommendation comes from someone who has weighed your specific case, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

How We Work

Dr. Ayzenberg reviews your imaging before your first visit so he already understands your fracture when you walk in. During your consultation, he explains the surgical approach, typically open reduction and internal fixation using a plate and screws to hold the bone in correct position while it heals. After surgery, you will work through a structured rehabilitation plan to rebuild grip strength and range of motion. Most patients begin seeing meaningful improvement in wrist function within a few months of their procedure.

Distal Radius Fracture Surgery in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania

Patients throughout Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania come to Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute for wrist fracture care because they want a specialist close to home, not a long drive to a large hospital system. Distal radius fractures are especially common in older adults after slips and falls, and Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania has a large active adult population that wants to stay that way. Dr. Ayzenberg understands that losing wrist function affects everything from driving to working to picking up grandchildren, and he treats the injury with that in mind.

What Happens If a Distal Radius Fracture Goes Untreated or Heals Poorly

A wrist fracture that heals out of alignment can leave you with chronic pain, limited motion, and reduced grip strength for years. Some patients come to Dr. Ayzenberg after an initial fracture was managed elsewhere and their wrist never felt right again. In those cases, corrective surgery is still an option.

If you are in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania and you broke your wrist recently or suspect an old fracture did not heal correctly, an evaluation with Dr. Ayzenberg is the right first step. He can compare your imaging, assess your current function, and give you an honest picture of what surgical or non-surgical options exist. You can also ask about related services like wrist and hand care or explore how regenerative treatments might support your recovery alongside surgery.

Common Questions

How do I know if my distal radius fracture needs surgery?
Not all distal radius fractures require an operation. Dr. Ayzenberg looks at the fracture pattern, how much the bone has shifted, and your age and activity level before recommending surgery. If the bone is significantly displaced or unstable, surgery usually produces better long-term results than casting alone.
What is recovery like after distal radius fracture surgery in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania?
Most patients wear a splint for a few weeks after surgery, then transition into physical therapy to rebuild motion and strength. Full recovery varies by patient but typically takes three to six months. Dr. Ayzenberg gives you a realistic timeline based on your specific fracture and health.
Is Dr. Ayzenberg an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in wrist fractures?
Yes. Dr. Ayzenberg is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon at Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. His practice covers a range of orthopaedic conditions including fractures, and he brings that surgical experience directly to patients with distal radius injuries.
