  2. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

    Distal radius fractures are common, [3] and are the most common type of fractures that are seen in children. [4] Distal radius fractures represent between 25% and 50% of all broken bones and occur most commonly in young males and older females. [3] [2] A year or two may be required for healing to occur.

  3. Galeazzi fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeazzi_fracture

    The Galeazzi fracture is a fracture of the distal third of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint.It classically involves an isolated fracture of the junction of the distal third and middle third of the radius with associated subluxation or dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint; the injury disrupts the forearm axis joint.

  4. Ulna fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulna_fracture

    An ulna fracture is a break in the ulna bone, one of the two bones in the forearm. [2] It is often associated with a fracture of the other forearm bone, the radius. [1] [3]An ulna fracture can be a single break as in a so called nightstick fracture, which can be caused by someone being hit on the inside of the forearm often by a stick, notably when they are holding their arm up to protect ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    Distal radius fracture. Galeazzi fracture – a fracture of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint; Colles' fracture – a distal fracture of the radius with dorsal (posterior) displacement of the wrist and hand; Smith's fracture – a distal fracture of the radius with volar (ventral) displacement of the wrist and hand

  6. Essex-Lopresti fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex-Lopresti_fracture

    The radial head fracture is usually managed by open reduction internal fixation under general anaesthesia: the area is opened surgically, the surgeon forces the bones back into their correct positions, and then fixes them in place using titanium pins and/ or plates; if the fracture is too comminuted (i.e., the bones have been crushed or fractured into many pieces) a radial head implant can be ...

  7. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

  8. Monteggia fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monteggia_fracture

    The Monteggia fracture is a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with dislocation of the proximal head of the radius. It is named after Giovanni Battista Monteggia . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

  9. Barton's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton's_fracture

    A Barton's fracture is a type of wrist injury where there is a broken bone associated with a dislocated bone in the wrist, typically occurring after falling on top of a bent wrist. [1] It is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint .
