Answers:
Sorry to say but she probably has broken it!. This happened to my older brother about 3 weeks ago, up on a ladder getting something down when he fell!. He's got a cast from his hand to the top of his arm and will have it on for the next month!. YOur sister may have just sprained it (this can hurt alot) and may not need a cast!. I hope that she's ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes !. Falling backward and stopping yourself with your arm the most common fracture is at the wrist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absolutely she may have broken it!. She landed on it on a cement floor, which is very hard!. She may have landed just so that she broke it!. Hopefully she didn't and at most it is sprained!.

I hope she is okay!!!

I hope this helps!.
