How do you know if you have a wrist fracture?

The mechanism or how your wrist was hurt plays a big part. If you have point tenderness over a specific carpal or wrist bone. If you have swelling,and bruising and loss of or decreased range of motion. All these things are part of an exam and history. You will need an xray to be positive. The signs of a break or sprain are pain, redness, swelling and a decreased range of movement of your hand. If the swelling and pain does not get less over the course of a few hours, it is best to get the wrist x-rayed as certain breaks might not heal well if left alone.
