wrist sprains

Would like to know how many wrist sprains occur per year (2018-2021), and the mechanism of injury (ie sport, falls, work-related, motor-vehicle accidents), geographical location, gender, ethnicity and age groups. If possible number of people who further intervention (surgery, steroid injection etc) as well as allied health treatment (physiotherapy, hand therapy, chiropractic, osteopathy treatment etc)

guide current assessment and treatment pathways for wrist sprains

determining current prevalence rates of wrist sprains in New Zealand. It would help to compare NZ data with with our local clinical practice audit as well as international data.
