Wrist Injuries.

Abstract

In brief Wrist pain in an active patient is a physician's cue to look for specific clues in the history, physical exam, and diagnostic tests. Without prompt diagnosis and accurate treatment, the chronic pain can impair sports participation and performance. And in certain instances, a misdiagnosed condition, such as a carpal dislocation or distal radial physeal fracture, can lead to deformity or disability from lack of adequate treatment.
