A member asked:
Is it possible to have broken bones in the wrist and still be able to move it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are many small bones in the wrist that can be fracture and are commonly misdiagnosed as a sprain. Scaphoid fractures are a common example. Left untreated these fractures can lead to significant long term disability. Anyone concern about a possible wrist fracture should be evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon.
