Snapped Wrist Forward And Felt Pop. Tendon Now Rolls Over Outside Of Wrist. Treatment?
I snapped my wrist forward and over hitting a serve in tennis. I felt a pop and a tendon now rolls over the outside of my wrist.
The condition came on suddenly and I am now unable to play. What is wrong inside my wrist and what should I do to repair the physical damage? My wrist is still popping when I grip a racket and roll my wrist over-There is pain when I feel the tendon roll over my wrist. Jon

Hi, jon, it appears to be the tear of the wrist joint , or an arthritis resulting from the tear. So i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have plaster caste for immobilization.
Thank you.
