What Is a Wrist Fracture?
A wrist fracture refers to a break in one or more of the bones near the wrist joint — most commonly the radius bone (known as a distal radius fracture). It can occur due to falls, accidents, or sports injuries.
Depending on severity, wrist fractures may be simple (non-displaced) or complex (displaced, comminuted, or intra-articular), requiring specialized orthopedic care. For precise management, patients seek the Best Hand & Wrist Surgery in Ahmedabad.
Wrist fractures can occur from:
- Falling on an outstretched hand
- Road or workplace accidents
- Sports injuries (cricket, skating, basketball, etc.)
- Osteoporosis or weakened bones in elderly patients
- Direct trauma or crush injury
