Understanding Your Injury
The wrist and hand are typically injured in car accidents when the driver grips the steering wheel at the moment of impact, transmitting crash forces directly up the arm, or when occupants instinctively brace against the dashboard or seat in front of them. This can produce TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage complex) tears, scaphoid fractures (often missed on initial X-ray), carpal instability, radius or ulna fractures, metacarpal fractures (knuckle fractures), and nerve compression injuries including acute carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome from impact or sustained gripping. Hand and wrist injuries from accidents significantly affect daily function, work capacity, and quality of life.

Common Questions
Dynamic PT's Glendale clinic is about 32 miles from Fullerton College Area and treats wrist and hand injuries from car accidents under personal injury medical liens. No upfront cost, same-day appointments available. We treat TFCC injuries, post-fracture rehabilitation, and nerve compression from accident trauma.
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a cartilage structure on the ulnar (pinky) side of the wrist that stabilizes the joint and allows forearm rotation. TFCC tears from car accidents cause wrist pain, clicking, and weakness. The majority of TFCC tears are partial and respond well to physical therapy, splinting, and activity modification. Surgery is only considered after 3 to 6 months of failed conservative treatment.
Several significant wrist injuries do not appear on X-rays, including TFCC tears, scaphoid fractures (which can be invisible on plain films for weeks), cartilage injuries, and ligament sprains. If your wrist pain persists after a normal X-ray, an MRI or CT scan provides better visualization of soft tissue and occult fractures. Dynamic PT can help coordinate imaging referrals through your personal injury attorney.
Mild wrist sprains typically resolve within 4 to 8 weeks of therapy. TFCC injuries and post-fracture rehabilitation may require 3 to 5 months. Untreated wrist injuries frequently develop chronic instability, arthritis, and chronic pain syndromes. Starting PT promptly after an accident minimizes the risk of long-term wrist dysfunction.
