Wrist joints, including the radial carpal joint, the interosseous carpal joint, and the distal radius joint, are prone to sprains. Because the local pain after a sprain is less obvious, there is a lot of misdiagnosis. Due to the common occurrence of wrist fractures, wrist sprains are easy to be overlooked.

Has a history of wrist sprain. Lifting a heavy object when flexing the wrist or holding a heavy object when extending the wrist causes a strong lateral flexion or rotational movement of the wrist joint, resulting in a sprain. Most patients are unilateral, and most patients have no obvious local swelling and pain, but they have a feeling of weakness and inflexibility in the wrist.
