Seek further care: Hand and wrist fractures can be tricky to diagnose and treatment can vary quite a bit, depending on which bone is fractured. Suspicion of a fracture in the hand requires more investigation, including a possible CT or MRI (depending on the suspected injury) and care from a hand surgeon.

Fell on ice in Dec. Hands & knees hurt, focus was on fractured hand. Left knee hurts when I bend it. Hurts worse to sit w/ it bent than to walk on it.

I fell playing softball, and the ER says I have a radial head fracture. It's been a week, the bruising is getting worse, and it's almost impossible to rotate my wrist. I was wondering the best brace to use?
