Home / Treatments / Wrist & scaphoid fractures
Breaks of the wrist bones, usually after a fall on an outstretched hand. Most heal well in a cast, but some need fixation to keep the wrist working properly.
Get it checked early. A missed wrist fracture can cause long-term problems. Book with Dr. Faheem Farooqi in Lahore.
Broken wrist bones, usually from a fall onto an outstretched hand. Most heal well in a cast, but some need surgery to protect how the wrist works.
The most common wrist fracture is at the end of the radius, the larger bone of the forearm.
The scaphoid is a small bone at the base of the thumb. A break here is easy to miss, because the swelling can be mild and it may not show on the first X-ray. If it isn’t treated, a scaphoid fracture can fail to heal.
Don’t ignore pain on the thumb side of the wrist after a fall, even if the swelling is mild. A missed scaphoid fracture can fail to heal.
How most wrist fractures are treated.
For displaced or unstable fractures.
Dr. Faheem checks for tenderness, especially at the base of the thumb.
X-rays show where the bone is broken and whether it has moved.
If a scaphoid break is suspected but not seen, the X-ray is repeated or a scan is arranged.
Scaphoid fractures can take longer to heal than other wrist fractures.
