A broken wrist, or wrist fracture, is a common injury involving a break in one or more of the bones that make up the wrist joint, which includes the radius, ulna, and carpal bones. This type of injury typically occurs due to trauma or impact, such as from a fall onto an outstretched hand, a direct blow to the wrist, or during sports activities. The severity of a wrist fracture can vary, ranging from a hairline crack to a complete break with displacement of the bone fragments. Symptoms of a broken wrist include sudden and severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the wrist or hand. In some cases, deformity or an abnormal angle in the wrist may be visible. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to assess the injury and determine the appropriate treatment.
Treatment for a broken wrist depends on the type and severity of the fracture. For non-displaced fractures, treatment typically involves immobilizing the wrist with a cast or splint to allow the bones to heal naturally over several weeks. Pain management with over-the-counter or prescription medications may also be required. For displaced fractures or more complex injuries, surgical intervention may be necessary to realign the bones and secure them with screws, plates, or pins. After initial treatment, physical therapy is often recommended to restore range of motion, strength, and function to the wrist. Follow-up care with a healthcare provider is crucial to ensure proper healing and to address any complications that may arise.
