Just as the recovery of a fractured wrist depends on several factors, so does the treatment for a fractured wrist! Depending on the location, severity, and type of the fracture, as well as the patient’s general health, treatment for a fractured wrist could include such things as a padded splint, cast, or some other form of immobilization, physical therapy, and pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory medication. Wrist fractures that are more severe or compounded could require the surgical placement of pins, screws, or plates to hold the bone in place for proper healing.
