VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI broke his right wrist in a fall during his vacation in the Alps, hospital officials and the Vatican said Friday.
Tiziano Trevisan, a spokesman at the Umberto Parini hospital in Aosta, told The Associated Press, "The pope will be held for a few hours as the doctors treat his fracture. He will then stay for observation."
Trevisan said doctors had taken an X-ray of the pope's right wrist and found a small fracture. The pope is 82 and has been healthy during his five-year pontificate.
