How serious are wrist injuries?

Depends: On the the type and severity of injury. Some are mild others can require surgical intervention. Talk to an orthopedist, or more specifically a wrist/hand subspecialist if you have an issue.

Range: There is a range from a mild bruise to a severe fracture dislocation. From a bump to a gunshot wound. So it depends.
