Can I move my broken wrist?

Generally speaking, if the wrist is fractured but the fingers are not injured, it will not affect the movement of the fingers. However, you need to pay attention to whether the wrist bones have injured the nerves or tendons. After a wrist fracture, you must be careful not to exert yourself, pay more attention to rest, ensure a balanced diet, try to eat less spicy or irritating foods, and wait until the bones have healed slowly, then slowly move your wrist.

Wrist fractures are mainly caused by the patient's palm landing on the ground after a sudden fall. If this disease is not treated in time after it occurs, the patient will experience symptoms such as joint deformity, joint pain, and limited joint movement. These symptoms will seriously affect the patient's normal life. Therefore, patients should receive timely treatment after suffering a wrist fracture.

How to treat a wrist fracture?

1. After suffering a wrist fracture, the patient can first adopt conservative treatment methods for treatment. This conservative treatment mainly uses manipulation to reposition the patient, and then uses a small splint or plaster to fix it. After the patient's fracture is grayed to a certain degree, functional joint exercises are performed to achieve the purpose of healing. However, after patients adopt this conservative treatment method, it is very easy for the fracture to displace again, which will directly lead to the failure of treatment.

2. Patients can also use surgical methods for treatment after suffering a wrist fracture. The surgical treatment mainly involves incision and reduction of the patient's wrist fracture, and then fixation with steel plates. Patients can use this method for strong internal fixation, and generally displacement is not likely to occur after treatment.

3. After suffering a wrist fracture, the patient can also use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. This treatment method is said to allow the patient to reposition first, and then use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning to achieve the purpose of healing. This is also a very good cooperative treatment measure, because after the application of traditional Chinese medicine, it can promote the patient's repositioned fracture healing and swelling, and it also has an analgesic effect, which can also avoid other sequelae.
