Wrist Fracture Repair
The radius is the larger of the two bones in the forearm. The section of the radius that is connected to the wrist joint is called the distal radius. A fracture in this area is sometimes called a broken wrist.
Distal radius fractures are common and most often result from falling onto an outstretched hand or receiving a direct blow to the wrist.
This video describes the different types of distal radius fractures and provides information on the symptoms of a broken wrist, surgical and nonsurgical treatment options, and what to expect during recovery.
