Can Twisting One's Own Wrist Cause Injury?

Posted on Mon, 21 Nov 2016

Question: can i hurt myself by twistng my own wrist

Answered by Dr. Dr. Praveen Tayal (54 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Less likely to cause any serious injury.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Usually a person cannot hurt himself until he is very strong willed. By twisting your own wrist, you can injure the ligaments and cause a soft tissue injury causing pain. But the bones are likely to remain intact.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Brief Answer:
Details below.

Detailed Answer:
Breaking one's own wrist needs a lot of strength and usually it is hard to injure your own bones. Exceptions are always there. The change in direction of force makes it possible to break someone else's bones. To break your own wrist you will need help of a weapon like iron bar.
