Wrist pain or open wrist is a syndrome inhibiting use of a hand due to pain in anatomical structures of the wrist.[1] It most commonly results from an injury to a ligament.[1] The pain may be sharp from a traumatic injury or from chronic repetitive wrist activities.[1]
Pain may be caused after exerting the wrist, as may occur during weight lifting, in any weight-bearing or athletic activity, manual labor, or from injury to nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons or bones of the wrist.[2][3] Wrist pain may result from nerve compression, tendonitis, osteoarthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
