10 Broken Wrist Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Weakness and the Inability to Grasp
Obviously, a broken wrist is unlikely to perform as it would without the fracture. Weakness and the inability to grasp are, therefore, symptoms of a wrist fracture, especially where they occur together with other symptoms like swelling and pain.
For the wrist to do its part as part of the arm, the bones, tissues, ligaments, and nerves should be aligned in a specific way. Disruption of this alignment by an injury can mean that the rest of arm cannot work as it normally does. Consequently, a person with a broken wrist can experience weakness and the inability to grasp with the affected arm.
