A member asked:
I fell going up the stairs 2 days ago. it swell, bruised, and my wrist bone popped out. the swelling has gone away. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concern for fracture: Following on an outstretched wrist is the most common mechanism for fracture of the scaphoid bone. If initial swelling has resolved but you are still having pain, x-rays are suggested. It is important not to miss this fracture early. Long-term problems can develop with an occult scaphoid fracture.
