Wrist Injuries

Fractures and ligament injuries of the wrist and forearm.

Conditions we treat

Fractures and non-unions of the scaphoid The scaphoid is one of the most important carpal bones, and is also the most frequently fractured carpal bone. Scaphoid fractures occur most commonly in young adults after a fall onto an outstretched hand, quite often during sports.
Fractures of the distal radius (wrist) Wrist fractures are common. In adolescents and young adults they tend to occur after quite significant trauma, such as a fall off a bicycle or while snowboarding, onto an outstretched hand. As we get older, wrist fractures can also occur after a simple trip and fall, and may be associated with osteoporosis.
Wrist ligament/TFCC injuries and wrist arthroscopy Injuries to the ligaments of the wrist usually occur in a similar way to fractures to the wrist and scaphoid bone – through a fall or impact onto an outstretched hand, with the wrist in an extended position.
