Wrist Injuries & Conditions

Because of the wide range of motion needed to function properly, wrists are made up of several joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels – making it one of the most complex structures in the human body. This complexity makes the wrist that much more vulnerable to serious injuries and conditions, such as fractures, ligament tears, and more. While the wrist, or carpus, is made up of eight bones in total, the carpal bone is the most commonly injured. Like most extremity injuries, wrist injuries can range from very mild to incredibly severe, depending on the cause and type of injury. The severity of the injury will be a major deciding factor in when to see a doctor.
