Like if only your wrist was put under anaesthesia, would your palm and fingers immediately lose feeling too? Or would they be partially numb? Or what?
Not all sensations, though. Finger proprioception is largely based on muscle spindle in the forearm, meaning that one can feel despite the finger is anaesthetized.

Anaesthetic is used on the wrist to numb the area and prevent any pain during a medical procedure or surgery.
Typically, yes, your fingers and palm will feel numb if your wrist is under anaesthetic. However, some patients may still experience some sensation or tingling in their fingers or palm.
It is possible to move your fingers and palm if your wrist is under anaesthetic. However, you may not have complete control or sensation in these areas.
The duration of anaesthetic on the wrist can vary depending on the type and amount used. Generally, it can last anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with using anaesthetic on the wrist. These can include allergic reactions, nerve damage, and bruising at the injection site. It is important to discuss these with your doctor before undergoing any procedure.
