Wrist contains several bones like ulna,radius,carpel bones etc. If there is a hairline fracture on any one of the bones,doctors will suggest pop or any support materials for the specific bone or exercises to cure that fracture. Hairline fracture of wrist is not a major problem. It just needs a rest of 2 or 3weeks.
