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. [1]
Galeazzi fracture after surgical fixation. Galeazzi fractures are best treated with open reduction of the radius and the distal radio-ulnar joint. [3] It has been called the "fracture of necessity," because it necessitates open surgical treatment in the adult. [4] Nonsurgical treatment results in persistent or recurrent dislocations of the ...

The Müller AO Classification of fractures is a system for classifying bone fractures initially published in 1987 [1] by the AO Foundation as a method of categorizing injuries according to therognosis of the patient's anatomical and functional outcome. "AO" is an initialism for the German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen", the ...
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 ...
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 .
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 ...
Chauffeur's fracture, also known as Hutchinson fracture, is a type of intraarticular oblique fracture of the radial styloid process in the forearm. [1] The injury is typically caused by compression of the scaphoid bone of the hand against the styloid process of the distal radius. It can be caused by falling onto an outstretched hand.
