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.
Essex-Lopresti fracture: Peter Essex-Lopresti: comminuted radial head fracture with interosseous membrane disruption and distal radioulnar joint subluxation: fall from height: Essex Lopresti fracture at Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics online Galeazzi fracture: Ricardo Galeazzi: radius shaft fracture with dislocation of distal radioulnar ...
Lidström classification is a system of categorizing fractures of the distal radius, one of the two bones of the forearm. In the Lidström classification system there are six types of fractures . The classification system is based on fracture line, direction and degree of displacement, extent of articular involvement and involvement of the ...
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]
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
A Colles' fracture is a type of fracture of the distal forearm in which the broken end of the radius is bent backwards. [2] Symptoms may include pain, swelling , deformity, and bruising . [ 2 ] Complications may include damage to the median nerve .
Type 1: Dorsal angulation up to five degrees, radial length distal to ulna at least 7 mm. [1] Type 2: Dorsal angulation, radial length 1 to 7 mm, no comminution. [1] Type 3: Dorsal radius comminuted, radial length less than 4 mm, distal fragment slightly comminuted. [1] Type 4: Marked comminution, radial length usually negative. [1]
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]
