Fracture of the wrist or wrist

A wrist or wrist fracture occurs when one of the bones in the wrist or wrist is cracked or broken. These fractures most often occur when people try to save themselves during a fall and hit the ground with an outstretched hand. Risk factors for a wrist or wrist fracture can be participation in certain sports, such as skateboarding or snowboarding, as well as a condition where the bones become thin and brittle (osteoporosis). Otherwise, the bones may not heal in the right direction, causing problems in everyday life: using a pen, buttoning a shirt. Early treatment will also reduce the level of inflammation and pain
