Anyone can suffer a fracture after a hard fall. A wrist fracture is very common. When you fall, the first thing you use to break the fall are your hands and arms. This can happen during sports, cycling, tripping, or any everyday activity. A fall places significant force on the wrist, which can lead to a sprain, strain, or in some cases, a fracture.
In most wrist fractures, the radius (forearm bone) is the bone that breaks. In many cases, this involves a crack or partial break in the radius. A fracture of the radius can be painful when moving the wrist or hand.
The arms are used in almost every daily activity. They also instinctively protect the body during a fall. Whether during everyday tasks or sports, a sudden impact on the wrist can cause a sprain or even a fracture. The force that occurs when falling on an outstretched hand is the most common cause of a broken wrist.

Often, you try to break your fall with your hands, placing a lot of force on the wrist. This can lead to a fracture of the radius. Symptoms such as wrist pain after a fall, swelling, and limited movement are typical.
In a wrist fracture, the radius is usually broken. In many cases, this is a crack or break just above the wrist joint. As a result, movement of the hand and wrist becomes painful and limited.
During a fall, we instinctively use our hands to break the impact. This places a significant amount of force on the wrist. This force can exceed what the bone can handle, resulting in a fracture. This often happens during sports, cycling, tripping, or slipping.
A broken wrist usually occurs from a fall onto the hand, where the impact is directly transferred to the bone. Wrist fractures also frequently occur during accidents or sports injuries. Factors such as osteoporosis, age, and previous injuries can increase the risk of a fracture.
A broken wrist is often recognized by immediate pain after a fall and difficulty moving the wrist. In some cases, there is a visible deformity or abnormal position of the wrist. For a definitive diagnosis, an X-ray is usually taken. If in doubt, it is important to always consult a doctor.
When a fracture is diagnosed, the wrist is usually placed in a cast. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to properly repair the bone. Recovery from a broken wrist often takes several weeks.
After the cast is removed, it is important to gradually start using the wrist again. A physiotherapist can help improve mobility and strength. This is essential for proper recovery of the wrist.
Recovery from a broken wrist varies from person to person and depends on the severity of the fracture. On average, recovery takes several weeks to months. It is important to gradually increase load to prevent complications.
After the cast is removed, a wrist brace can provide support during recovery. The brace stabilizes the wrist and helps you resume daily activities without overloading it.
If you are looking for a brace after a wrist fracture or want to buy a wrist brace, it is important to choose one that offers support while still allowing sufficient freedom of movement.
How long does recovery from a broken wrist take? +
Recovery from a broken wrist takes on average several weeks to months. In most cases, the wrist is placed in a cast for about 4 to 6 weeks. This is followed by a recovery period in which strength and mobility are gradually rebuilt. The exact duration depends on the severity of the fracture and your individual recovery process.
How do you know if your wrist is broken? +
A broken wrist is often recognized by immediate pain after a fall, swelling, and difficulty moving. In some cases, there is a visible deformity or bruising. The wrist may also be tender to the touch. An X-ray is required for confirmation.
Can you still move your hand with a broken wrist? +
In some cases, you may still be able to move your hand slightly, but this is often painful. Movement can worsen symptoms and delay recovery. It is therefore important to limit strain on the wrist and seek medical advice.
Yes, a broken wrist is usually painful. The pain occurs immediately after the injury and may increase with movement or pressure on the wrist. The severity of the pain depends on the fracture, but it is often described as sharp and intense.
