Hand and Wrist Fractures and Trauma

Overview and Facts about Hand and Wrist Fractures and Trauma

The hands and wrists are made up of many different bones, muscles, and ligaments and are common sites for injury. A hand or wrist fracture is a break or crack in one or more of the bones in the hand or wrist.

A fractured hand can affect the small bones of the fingers (phalanges) and the long bones within the palm (metacarpals). The wrist comprises eight small bones that connect with the two bones in the forearm, called the radius and ulna.
