Education: Wrist Fractures in Active Adults
A wrist fracture may involve displaced bones, damage to the joint surface, or multiple fragments. Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, numbness or tingling in the fingers or palm, and difficulty gripping or moving the wrist. Left untreated, these issues can cause long-term stiffness or arthritis.
Most people with minor wrist injuries can be treated with splints, medications, and hand therapy. Severe fractures may require procedures such as internal fixation. With proper treatment options, patients can often resume daily activities and sports within months.
