A wrist fracture refers to a break in any of the bones within the wrist joint. This type of injury often occurs due to falls, sports-related mishaps, or trauma. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty in using the hand and wrist. Treatment typically involves immobilization with a cast or splint. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary for realigning and stabilizing the fractured bones. Rehabilitation and gentle exercises are crucial for restoring wrist function and strength after the fracture has healed.
