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.
