WRIST
The wrist is the region in between the end of your arm and your hand. The anatomy of the wrist is complex and it is made up of 8 bones and has movement in several directions.
The wrist is often injured during sports and when somebody falls on an outstretched arm, can be subject to wear and tear (osteoarthritis), or can be painful due to nerve problems (De Quervain’s tenosynovitis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome).
Common sports which cause a wrist fracture from FOOSH (falling on an outstretched hand) include: rollerblading, snowboarding, and falling off a bike.
