The treatment of the wrist fracture is first and foremost to immobilise the wrist. In some cases, this can be done with a splint which will allow the bone to heal without causing further damage. The treatment of the wrist fracture is based on the type of bone that has been fractured, and how deeply it has been fractured.
A simple fracture of the distal radius will usually heal with a plain x-ray cast, which is immobilised with a splint. A more severe injury may require surgery or even an operation where pins and plates are inserted into the broken bones for stability and to allow them to heal. If you are suffering from a wrist fracture, you can visit our Orthopaedic clinic in Singapore to get treatment for your injury.
