A wrist fracture occurs when a person puts a hand out to break a fall and the impact is transmitted to the wrist. It commonly occurs after falls on icy roads in winter, and older adults and women with osteoporosis-weakened bones can fracture even with minor impact. If left untreated, it can lead to wrist deformity, limited joint motion, and arthritis. If you have pain and swelling in the wrist after a fall, please consult an orthopedic specialist.2026-06-26
