Understanding Wrist Sprains
What is a Wrist Sprain?
A wrist sprain occurs when the ligaments connecting the bones in the wrist are overstretched or torn, often caused by a sudden force or trauma. Wrist sprains can vary in severity, from minor stretching of the ligaments to complete tears. This type of injury is common in sports, falls, or any activity involving impact to the wrist.
Common Causes
- Falls: Falling onto an outstretched hand, a common cause of wrist sprains.
- Sports Injuries: Activities such as basketball, soccer, gymnastics, or skiing can put stress on the wrist and lead to sprains.
- Overuse: Repetitive wrist movements in work or sports can weaken ligaments over time, increasing the risk of a sprain.
- Accidents: Traumatic impacts from car accidents or direct blows to the wrist can cause ligament injuries.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Pain: Immediate sharp pain in the wrist, especially when moving or bearing weight.
- Swelling: Swelling around the wrist joint, which may increase after activity.
- Bruising: Discoloration around the wrist due to ligament damage.
- Limited Mobility: Difficulty in moving the wrist or performing tasks like gripping or lifting.
- Weakness: A feeling of instability or weakness in the wrist, especially during motion.
