Preventing FOOSH Wrist Injuries ❌

While accidents happen, you can reduce risk with smart habits:
🏋 Strength & Stability

Forearm strengthening
• Wrist mobility & control
• Grip training for athletes
• Shoulder stability (important in falls!)

🧘 Balance & Body Control
• Single-leg balance drills
• Agility and reaction training
• Fall-prevention strategies in older adults

🥾 Environment & Equipment
•Wear appropriate footwear
• Keep walkways clear
• Use wrist guards for skating, snowboarding, or high-risk sports

A strong, stable upper body + good balance = less chance of injury when a fall happens.

Stay safe this December!

Recovery From Wrist Fractures – What Works

Recovery depends on the type and severity of the fracture:
Conservative Care

✔ Cast or splint to stabilise the wrist
✔ Swelling management (elevation, ice during early phase)
✔ Gradual physio: mobility → strength → grip control
✔ Activity modification
Surgical Care
✔ ORIF (plates/screws) for unstable fractures
✔ Close follow-up for scaphoid fractures due to blood supply concerns

Most wrist fractures heal well with proper immobilisation and structured rehab.

Returning too early can delay healing — patience is key.

Common Causes of FOOSH Wrist Fractures

Most FOOSH injuries are due to:
• Slips on wet surfaces
• Sporting collisions or falls
• Cycling or skating accidents
• Tripping during running or hiking
• Loss of balance from fatigue or distraction

🦴 Older adults are also more at risk due to lower bone density.

Knowing how these injuries happen helps you prevent them — especially during winter months when falls increase!

Common Symptoms After a FOOSH Wrist Fracture ☠️

If you’ve landed on your hand and are unsure whether it’s “just a sprain,” look for:

- Wrist pain, especially over the thumb or outer side
- Swelling or bruising
- Reduced grip strength
- Pain with twisting, gripping, or lifting
- Diﬃculty bending the wrist
- Tenderness in the anatomical snuﬀbox (may indicate scaphoid fracture)

If symptoms persist or worsen — get assessed. Early diagnosis = better outcomes.

Anatomy of a FOOSH Wrist Fracture

🦴 The wrist is a complex joint made up of:
The radius and ulna
8 small carpal bones
A network of ligaments that stabilise movement

🦴 When a fracture occurs after a FOOSH:
The distal radius often bears the biggest load
A scaphoid fracture may limit blood supply and slow healing

🦴 Ligaments can tear, aﬀecting grip and wrist stability
Swelling and stiﬀness can set in quickly

🦴 Understanding the anatomy helps explain why proper assessment and early management are essential.

What Is a FOOSH Wrist Injury? ✋

A FOOSH (“Fall On Outstretched Hand”) happens when you land with your hand stretched out to break a fall.

Depending on the angle and force, it can injure:

- Distal radius (most common fracture)
- Scaphoid (often missed early!)
- Ulna
- Wrist ligaments and TFCC

The sudden impact drives force through the wrist and can cause fractures, sprains, or joint instability.

Key note: Not all wrist injuries show severe swelling at first, do not ignore pain after a fall.

✋ Wrist Fracture (FOOSH) – December Focus ✋

This December, we’re turning our attention to a common injury seen in sport, the gym, and everyday life. Wrist fractures caused by a FOOSH (Fall On Outstretched Hand).

When you fall, the instinct is to reach out to protect yourself… but that impact can transmit a huge force through the wrist and forearm.

The result? Sprains, ligament injuries, or fractures of the radius, ulna, or carpal bones (in particular the scaphoid).

Throughout the month, we’ll break down what FOOSH injuries are, how they happen, and the best pathways to a safe, strong recovery.

Stay tuned!

Lumbar Disc Herniation Recovery – What Works❓

Recovery depends on severity and symptoms, but usually includes:

🧘Conservative Care:
• Activity modification (avoid painful movements)
• Physical therapy (core & postural control)
• Anti-inflammatories or epidural injections if needed

💉 Surgical Care:
• Microdiscectomy may be considered if pain or weakness persists

Most people recover without surgery — consistency in rehab is key to long-term success.
