2. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

   A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]

3. 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 ...

4. Greenstick fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenstick_fracture

   This fracture pattern is characterized by a break on one side of the bone while the other side remains intact and bends, similar to breaking a young, green tree branch. Greenstick fractures most commonly affect the long bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) but can also occur in other long bones throughout the body. Treatment generally ...

6. Elbow fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_fracture

   Elbow fractures are any broken bone in or near the elbow joint and include olecranon fractures, supracondylar humerus fractures and radial head fractures. [1] The elbow joint is formed by three different bones: the ulna, radius, and humerus that permit the joint to move like a hinge and allow a person to straighten and bend their arm and these bones are connected by tendons, ligaments, and ...

7. Radioulnar synostosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioulnar_synostosis

   Radioulnar synostosis is a rare condition where there is an abnormal connection between the radius and ulna bones of the forearm. [1] This can be present at birth ( congenital ), when it is a result of a failure of the bones to form separately, or following an injury (post-traumatic).

8. Classification of distal radius fractures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_distal...

   The radial inclination of a distal radius fracture is shown in red in image at right. The angle is measured between: [4] [5] A line drawn between the distal ends of the articular surface of the radius on an AP view of the wrist. A line that is perpendicular to the diaphysis of the radius. Radial inclination is normally 21-25°. [6]

9. 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.
