    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. Scaphoid fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_fracture

    Arterial flow to the scaphoid enters via the distal pole and travels to the proximal pole. This blood supply is tenuous, increasing the risk of nonunion, particularly with fractures at the wrist and proximal end. [4] If not treated correctly non-union of the scaphoid fracture can lead to wrist osteoarthritis. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonunion

    Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention (such as surgery) is performed. A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint, and is therefore often called a "false joint" or pseudoarthrosis (from Greek pseudo-, meaning false, and arthrosis, meaning joint).

  9. Wrist osteoarthritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_osteoarthritis

    SLAC and SNAC are two patterns of wrist osteoarthritis, following predictable patterns depending on the type of underlying injury. SLAC is caused by scapholunate ligament rupture, and SNAC is caused by a scaphoid fracture which does not heal non-union. SLAC is more common than SNAC; 55% of the patients with wrist osteoarthritis have a SLAC ...
