Résumé

Patients with wrist pain commonly present to primary care and emergency departments. A detailed history and examination, alongside relevant imaging, will help find the correct diagnosis and ensure that patients receive the correct treatment in a timely manner. This article summarises the key points in history and examination and the role of imaging, including suggestions of which modality should be requested. Finally, important acute pathologies are highlighted, including fractures, soft tissue injuries and infection, with examples of their relevant imaging.
