What is a Hand or Wrist Fracture/Break/Sprain?
The hand and wrist are very important body parts. Hand and wrist injuries are extremely common because the hand and wrist are constantly used. Manual laborers, athletes, and active individuals are most at risk. A hand or wrist fracture, break, or sprain may occur when a patient:
Accidently strikes their hand or wrist with or against a solid object
Falls on an open or closed hand
Makes a fist and punches a solid object
