Recent statistical estimations for the incidence of wrist fracture among women in the U.S. can be found in the data from the National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment (NORA). The NORA study involved three years of observing 170,000 women ages 50-99. This large body of data found that over the three years 4.2 out of 1,000 women ages 50-59 suffered a fracture. Thus, each year some 1.4% of all women in your age group experienced a wrist fracture. Interestingly enough, among all age groups wrist fractures were the most common type of fracture
