Distal radius fractures
-
Distal radius fractures usually result from a fall on an outstretched hand.
(See also Overview of Fractures.)
Most distal radius fractures are dorsally displaced or angulated (sometimes called Colles fractures); they are common, particularly among the elderly. Often, the ulnar styloid process is also fractured. Less often, volar displacement (called Smith fracture) occurs because the wrist was flexed during the injury.
