    Yeah you would be able to move your fingers, it would cause little pain, but you would probably have stiffness or inability to move your thumb

    here are some common symptoms of a broken wrist

    If you have a broken wrist or broken hand, you may experience these signs and symptoms:

    * Severe pain that tends to increase during gripping or squeezing

    * Swelling

    * Tenderness

    * Bruising

    * Obvious deformity, such as a bent wrist or crooked finger

    * Stiffness or inability to move your finger or thumb

    * Numbness or coldness in your finger or thumb

    Do you mean....Could I move my fingers? Would I be able to move my fingers if I had a cracked bone in my wrist or if it was broken? I think I've got a cast on for nothing?

    If so, it would depend on which bone was cracked or broken.

    Yes, you can move your fingers with a broken wrist. The tendons that connect to your fingers are attached to muscles in your forearm and therefore don't need the wrist to be intact to move. As a matter of fact if you took a sledge hammer and destroyed your wrist without injuring the nerves you could still move your fingers. It would be painful but you could still move them.

    Yep. I broke my wrist and can still move my fingers. Can't do much else though.

    Well, I completely broke my arm so that it was floppy, both bones, and I could still move my fingers.

    So yes, probably :P
