Broken wrist: what are my treatment options?
A broken wrist is a fracture of one or more of the bones in the wrist, most commonly the distal radius. It typically results from a fall onto an outstretched hand and causes pain, swelling, and sometimes deformity. Treatment varies from casting to surgery, depending on fracture severity. Leading consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon Mr Angelos Assiotis provides a guide to the symptoms and surgical options for treating wrist fractures.
