Wrist sprains
A wrist sprain stretches or tears a ligament, often after a fall onto an outstretched hand.

Understand the problem
The ligament
Ligaments connect and support wrist bones.
The uncertainty
A fracture can resemble a sprain, even after a seemingly minor fall.

What might you notice?

A personal plan
What can help?
-
Check the injury
Persistent or severe pain deserves assessment.
-
Protect as advised
Some moderate sprains need temporary splinting.
-
Restore use gradually
Movement and loading depend on injury severity.
The role of support
Where a brace or splint fits in
Possible roles depend on the device, diagnosis and fit.
- A suitable splint can limit painful wrist movement.
- Temporary support may protect a selected ligament injury.
- A fitted brace can complement a staged return to activity.
Support has limits. A routine wrist brace is not appropriate for every ligament injury or fracture. Some injuries need specialist treatment.
