When you brace yourself with an outstretched hand, the impact force is transmitted through the wrist, fracturing the radius. Complex wrist fractures may involve the ulna, scaphoid (a high-risk bone for non-union), or intra-articular surfaces.
Non-displaced fractures are treated with casting for 6-8 weeks. Displaced fractures require closed reduction (manually realigning the bones) or ORIF surgery with plates and pins. Scaphoid fractures may require surgical fixation due to high non-union risk. Occupational therapy follows to restore hand and wrist function.

Wrist fractures are common and well-documented. Surgical cases have higher value. The impact on hand function — especially for people who work with their hands — adds significant economic and non-economic damages.
