Fractures in forearm and wrist are common by falling injury, as we have a reflex action that when we fall our hand always go first to protect us from bigger injury. Commonly fractures occur in the bones of forearm that is radius and ulna, sometimes fractures occur in a small bone in wrist called scaphoid, which is attached to the radius bone.

Fractures can be managed by placing a plaster cast or in severe case by surgical procedures.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by the pressure on median nerve between the carpal bones in wrist. Also called median nerve compression syndrome. Carpal tunnel is a narrow passage surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand.

Pressures on median nerve can build excessively due to following factors –

• After a wrist fracture, dislocation or arthritic condition, the space within the carpal tunnel is reduced.
• This tunnel is relatively small in females, so they are more prone to this compression.
• Some inflammatory condition like Rheumatoid arthritis can cause this compression.
• Obesity can also be a factor.
• Some chronic illness such as diabetes can cause severe nerve damage including median nerve.
• Repetitive wrist flexion and twisting movement in workplace also can cause this condition.

As median nerve provide sensation to the plamer side of the thumb and fingers, except little finger, and also responsible for the movement of muscles around the base of thumb, compression of this nerve causes tingling sensation of this area along with weakness of muscles which makes daily activities very difficult.

These Occur due to quick overstretching of tissues causing micro tearing and subsequent injuries. Symptoms involves swelling, decreased range of motion, and pain. In severe cases, surgery may be indicated, when there is complete tear. But in partial tear, conservative treatment is the only option, where physiotherapy plays most vital role along with some anti-inflammatory medications.

How physiotherapy treatment helps-
