What Causes Wrist Pain or a Wrist Fracture?

Wrist fractures and injuries are among the most common types of trauma to the hand and wrist. These can occur during a fall, sports-related activity, or even a crushing accident involving heavy machinery or a door. While many wrist fractures can be treated without surgery using realignment and a splint or cast, some severe injuries may require surgical intervention.

Common symptoms of a wrist fracture include joint pain, swelling, deformity, difficulty forming a fist, an unnatural bum, or depression in the knuckle. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek evaluation and treatment from a qualified orthopedic specialist.
