A member asked:
Wrist cracking no swelling is it fractured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely not: To fracture a bone you have to have injury or have some thing to weaken the bone. Most of the time if you are healthy some kind of inflammation in the joint will be the problem. Some time it happen for no obvious reasons.
