Wrist sprain/dislocate: Sprain is connected with wrist ligaments, which can be stretch (mild sprain) or tear or rupture (severe sprain). Eight little bones in two rows built the joint. The sprain leads to joint instability, because bones aren’t hold tightly. Dislocation, connected with sprain, is based on separation in the joint. The injures usually occur when athletes fall onto their hand. It can be also connected with repetitive microinjures in sports such as gymnastics or basketball.
Wrist fracture: Usually it involves distal radius. When the wrist is forced back, the carpal bones are jammed against the radius and it can cause the fracture. The most complicated fracture is injury of the scaphoid bone, because it’s located near thumb base, what leads to reduction of mobility.
