Wrist Fracture Treatment

A wrist fracture is a common injury, particularly following a fall onto an outstretched hand, and requires prompt treatment to ensure proper healing and function. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers expert wrist fracture treatment in Indore, from casting to surgical fixation for complex fractures.

About Wrist Fracture Treatment

Wrist fractures most commonly involve the distal end of the radius bone and can range from simple, non-displaced breaks to complex fractures involving the joint surface. They are common across all age groups, from children falling during play to older adults with osteoporosis-related falls. Proper alignment and stabilization are essential to restore full wrist function and prevent long-term stiffness or arthritis.

Symptoms of Wrist Fracture Treatment

• Sudden pain and swelling after a fall
• Visible deformity in displaced fractures
• Inability to move or use the wrist normally
• Bruising around the wrist and hand
• Tenderness with any attempted movement

Causes of Wrist Fracture Treatment

• Falls onto an outstretched hand
• Sports injuries and direct trauma
• Road traffic accidents
• Osteoporosis increasing fracture risk in older adults
• High-impact activities in children and young adults

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination of the injured wrist
• X-ray to confirm fracture location and displacement
• CT scan for detailed assessment of complex fractures
• Assessment of nerve and blood supply to the hand

Treatment Options

• Closed reduction and casting for stable fractures
• Surgical fixation with plates, screws, or pins for displaced fractures
• Pain management during the healing period
• Physiotherapy after cast removal to restore motion
• Gradual return to normal activity
