Wrist is also called as carpus, a complex joint comprised of bones and joints, ligaments and tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that hold the bones together.
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition of the joints. There are several types of arthritis and the most common type is osteoarthritis or wear-and-tear arthritis.
Wrist pain is defined as any ache or discomfort in the wrist. The wrist is comprised of two bones in the forearm, the radius and ulna, and eight tiny carpal bones in the palm.

A broken wrist, also known as a wrist fracture, typically refers to a break in one or more bones of the wrist joint.
Ulnar wrist pain is defined as discomfort or pain in the small-finger side of the wrist (opposite to your thumb). The ulna is one of the 2 forearm bones that extends from the elbow joint to the wrist.
