My mother broke her wrist, in several places, when she slipped in the kitchen and fell on her wrist. The human body is very heavy and that caused enough force for the wrist to fracture.
She had a plaster cast for six weeks. Unable to move her fingers, her wrist was weak for months. In the end it took two years before her use of the wrist and fingers returned back to normal. Mentally she never recovered and was extra extra careful about falling and became afraid of going outside in case she slipped in the garden.
