Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Wrist fractures are more common in athletes and in patients aged ≥60 years, with a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH) being the most common mechanism of injury.
  • The differential diagnosis for wrist injuries includes fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, contusions, ligament tears, overuse injuries, and arthritis.
  • The physical examination should include a thorough inspection, palpation of the injured area, range of motion testing, strength testing, and nerve assessment.
