Fractures
Understanding Fractures
Fractures in the elbow, wrist, or hand are common injuries caused by trauma, falls, or accidents. They can lead to significant pain, reduced mobility, and functional impairments if not managed properly. At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we provide a personalized and multidisciplinary approach to support your recovery and restore optimal function after a fracture.
Causes of Fractures
Fractures in the elbow, wrist, or hand can occur due to:
- Direct trauma from sports injuries or accidents
- Falls onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH injuries)
- Repetitive stress, leading to stress fractures over time
- Osteoporosis, which weakens bones and increases fracture risk
