10 Broken Wrist Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Bruising
Visible bruising is another symptom of a broken wrist. However, not all cases of broken wrists present with bruising on the outside surface. This is because the injury to the bone may not involve large blood sources.
Where bruising occurs on the skin, it may also involve bleeding. In some cases, a broken bone may pierce skin. This can indicate that the fracture is serious with a piece of bone breaking off or dislocating from its normal position. In case of bleeding, stop it by applying a sterile bandage or a clean piece of cloth as you take the patient to hospital.
