Wrist fracture (6 ways of treatment, causes of fracture, prevention and care)

How does a wrist fracture happen? and ways of treatment ** A wrist fracture, which means a fracture of one of the small bones of the wrist or its distal radius, which is larger than the two bones that make up the forearm, occurs for various reasons. These fractures are commonly known as broken wrists and occur when one or more bones in the wrist area are damaged. The wrist consists of eight small bones called carpal bones along with two long bones in the forearm called radius and ulna. Fractures can happen for a number of reasons, usually from falling on the hand and bending the wrist too much, a direct blow to the wrist, or a severe blow during sports or an accident. The treatment of a wrist fracture depends on the type and extent of the fracture. In more severe cases where the bones are still properly aligned, a splint or cast may be sufficient to immobilize the wrist. This treatment will improve over time. More severe fractures may require realignment through manipulation or surgery, often using pins, plates, or screws to stabilize the bones during the healing process. Wrist fractures take weeks to months to heal, and during this time, physical therapy may be recommended to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion to the affected wrist and hand. Wrist fractures can often be treated by a hand and elbow surgeon. These surgeons can treat these types of wrist fractures in various ways, including surgery by **the best hand and elbow specialist in East Tehran**.
