10 Broken Wrist Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Broken Bone Piercing Skin
Besides bruising and swelling, a broken wrist may also present with a part of a bone coming out through the skin. This is a sign of a serious fracture in which a sharp piece of broken bone pierces skin during a fall or an accident.
Such an injury can lead to more serious complications including infection. For this reason, in the case of a broken wrist in which a bone pierces through skin, it is critical to seek medical attention without delay. You should also protect the injury from possible infection by wrapping it with a sterile bandage or a clean piece of cloth as soon as possible following the injury.
