10 Broken Wrist Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: Deformed Wrist
A deformation of the wrist may indicate a wrist fracture. This is the case even if pain or other symptoms are mild. It is worth to note that when a deformation is present, it may indicate that the fracture is severe and may involve actual breakage of one or more bones.
When such a fracture occurs, splinters of bone may be present within the wrist. For this reason, you should ensure that the fractured arm remains in a position of minimal mobility. This should happen even as you take the patient to hospital or wait for an ambulance. This will help reduce further breakage or migration of the broken pieces of bone.
