Hi Steve
Unlucky you have a repeat injury after a fracture :(
It is difficult to give general advice without locating the injury.
I have done a list which I hope you find helpful...
Anterior muscles of the forearm (front)
Pronator quadratus - Deep (Turns the hand over)
Flexor pollicis - Deep (Flexes the thumb)
Flexor digitorum profundus - Deep (Flexes the fingers)
Pronator teres - Superficial (Pronates the forearm)
Flexor carpi radialis - Superficial (Flexes the forearm & Abducts the hand)
Flexor carpi ulnaris - Superficial (Flexes the forearm & adducts the hand)
Flexor digitorum - Superficial (Flexes the fingers)
Posterior muscles of the forearm (back)
Supinator - Deep (Supinate the forearm)
Anconeus - Deep (Assists extension of the forearm)
Abductor pollicis longus - Deep (Abducts the thumb)
Extensor pollicis brevis - Deep (Extends & abducts the thumb)
Extensor pollicis longus - Deep (aids ext & abduct of the wrist)
Extensor indicis - Deep (Ext index finger)
Extensor digitorum - Intermediate (Ext the fingers,the wrist & the elbow)
Extensor digiti minimi - Intermediate (Ext the little finger)
Extensor radialis longus/brevis and ulnaris - Superficial (Control movement in the wrist)
Then there is the Brachioradialis on the posterior side of the forearm, flexes the elbow.
So by looking through this I am sure you will appreciate that it is difficult to give advice without being clear of what you are treating.
Kelly :)
