Wrist and Hand Fracture Care

Wrist and Hand Fracture Care is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Wrist and hand fracture care involves the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of fractures occurring in the bones of the wrist and hand. Fractures in these delicate structures can result from traumatic injuries, falls, or repetitive stress. The first step in care is an accurate diagnosis through imaging techniques like X-rays or, in some cases, CT scans. Treatment approaches depend on the type and severity of the fracture but may include casting, splinting, or, in certain cases, surgical intervention for realignment or fixation. Wrist and hand fractures often require meticulous care to ensure proper healing and restoration of function. Rehabilitation, including physical therapy and exercises, is commonly prescribed to improve strength and flexibility. Prompt and appropriate fracture care is essential to minimize complications and facilitate a swift return to normal hand and wrist function.
