Symptoms of Ligament Tears in Wrists

If you’ve never experienced an injury like a torn ligament, it may be difficult to recognize the symptoms. While the most obvious signs are pain and swelling in the wrist, other symptoms of a torn ligament can include:

• Increased pain with movement or a certain activity
• Bruising or discoloration
• Stiffness or a limited range of motion
• A clicking or snapping sound

Diagnosis & Treatment

You can receive a proper diagnosis of your wrist pain from the board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians at Premier Bone & Joint Centers. We’ll review your symptoms, complete an examination, and perform X-rays and MRIs. If it is determined that you have torn a ligament in your wrist, we have treatment options such as immobilizing (splinting) it, prescribing pain medication, or performing surgery to repair the ligament.
