Wrist sprains, which involve injury to one of the many wrist ligaments, most commonly occur after a fall onto an opened hand. Symptoms of a sprained wrist vary from mild tenderness at the injury site to severe pain, swelling, and bruising. Physicians grade wrist sprains and determine optimal treatment depending on the extent of the ligament damage:

  • Grade 1: A stretched ligament, thought of as a mild sprain
  • Grade 2: A moderate sprain involving a partially torn ligament
  • Grade 3: A severe sprain in which a ligament has torn completely

Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group offers treatment to address all types of sprained wrist injuries, helping our patients resume everyday activities as quickly as possible. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine physician Dr. Arnold Ramirez, who also serve on the medical staffs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Yankees, focus on treating sprains with non-invasive therapies. In the event that your severely sprained wrist can only be corrected through surgery, Dr. Murphy will guide you through your options and help you make an informed decision regarding your care.
