Wrist Injury
Damaging your wrist can be very painful and can really stop you going about your everyday activities. The wrist is quite complex and has 8 bones connected to each other with ligaments, these bones are called:
- Triquetrum
- Pisiform
- Trapezium
- Trapezoid
- Hamate
- Navicular
- Lunate
- Capitate
- Scaphoid
There are also the two bones from the forearm which are called the radius and ulna.
If you have fractured or broken your wrist then it will be one of these bones that has the damage.
A sprain is where the ligaments which hold the bones together have been partially torn or severely torn. There will be no broken or fractured bones in a sprain.
If you have damaged your wrist and it was not your fault you could be entitled to claim compensation for your suffering. It is your legal right to claim and your right to get compensated.
