[/INST] Hi Thanks for your query and Welcome to Chat Doctor, You have mentioned that your wife sustained fracture Radius which was managed surgically. Stitches were removed 2 weeks post operative which is the normal time for that. Now you have issues with swelling at the palm region which can happen after upper limb surgeries especially if the operated limb has been hanging down etc. I would like to understand whether the surgical site has healed properly, any fever, redness of the skin at the operated site also if you can send me the pre- and post-op X-rays along with a clinical picture of the operated hand, I can have a look and let you know on what needs to be done. Also, kindly send me a list of medications which are currently on and I will see whether anything needs to be modified. Till that time what I can advise you is to keep the operated limb elevated by use of arm pouch etc. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation. Thanks & Regards Chat Doctor.  </s>
