Wrist Sprains

A sprain of one or multiple wrist ligaments occurs when there is excessive loading or force transmitted across the wrist.  These frequently occur as the result of a fall forwards or backwards onto an outstretched hand. Force may be applied in other ways, such as with a violent twisting injury (torsion).  Often, these injuries are associated with sports and other outdoor activities such as biking, skiing, or snowboarding.
