Wrist pain due to wrist injury, arthritis, tendinitis and other diseases. Wrist sprains, and more obvious history of trauma. After the injury, there was weakness in the wrist and inability to move the wrist. Minor injuries, generally no obvious swelling, pain is not very much, only when the wrist joints are moved significantly. Severe sprain, but the swelling and pain of the wrist may be severe, the wrist can not move or the pain worsens during the movement. During the examination, the wrist joint is flexed with palm flexion, and the back side shows pain, which indicates that the dorsal wrist ligament and wrist extensor tendon are injured; otherwise, the wrist palmar ligament or wrist flexor tendon is injured. If the wrist joint is deflected forcibly to the ulnar side and pain occurs in the styloid part of the radius, it is the radial collateral ligament injury; otherwise, it is the ulnar collateral ligament injury. If pain occurs in all directions of the wrist, and the movement is significantly restricted, it is a complex injury of ligaments and tendons. There was tenderness at the injury site or abnormal changes in the muscles and tissues that touched the muscles. Wrist injuries should be treated in time to prevent ischemic necrosis of the scaphoid bones and carpal bones.
