A member asked:
Supposing you already had a broken hand in a cast & you fell very hard on that hand, could you get a broken wrist too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to break: It would be highly unlikely (and very unlucky) to break a wrist that is already in a cast. It could happen, but it would be highly unusual.
