Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures seen in adults and children. [4] Distal radius fractures account for 18% of all adult fractures with an approximate rate of 23.6 to 25.8 per 100,000 per year. [25] For children, both boys and girls have a similar incidence of these types of fractures, however the peak ages differ slightly.

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.
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]
An open fracture (or compound fracture) is a bone fracture where the broken bone breaks through the skin. [2] A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress , or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis , osteopenia , bone cancer , or osteogenesis imperfecta ...
He had the medical personnel trained in fracture management. [8] He personally managed 3,000 cases and performed 300 operations in his own hospital. This position enabled him to learn new techniques and improve the standard of fracture management. Physicians from around the world came to Jones' clinic to learn his techniques.
A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1] Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. [3] Smith's fractures are less common than Colles ...
