Description The end toward the wrist is called the distal end. A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the area of the radius near the wrist breaks. Distal radius fractures are very common. In fact, the radius is the most commonly broken bone in the arm.he break can occur in many different ways, however. One of the most common distal radius fractures is a Colles fracture, in which the broken fragment of the radius tilts upward. This fracture was first described in 1814 by an Irish surgeon and anatomist, Abraham Colles -- hence the name Colles fracture.

- In some severely injured patients and in olderpatients, reduction of the intra-articular incongruity may bedifficult or impossible. These patients should be informedof the risk of post-traumatic arthritis.References 1.BACORN, R. W., and KURTZKE, J. F.: Colles’ Fracture.

Background Fractures of the capitellum occur in the coronal plane. Separating the capitellum from the lateral column, capitellar factures are the result of shear forces from a fall onto the outstretched hand or of a fall directly onto the elbow.

Fractures Fractures usually result from a traumatic injury to a bone where the continuity of bone tissues or bony cartilage is disrupted or broken. The illustrations above feature common sites where fractures occur.(Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.).blique and transverse fractures differ in that an oblique fracture crosses a bone at approximately a 45° angle to the bone's axis. In contrast, a transverse fracture crosses a bone's axis at a 90° angle.

Broken bone: Types of fractures, symptoms and prevention Greenstick fracture: an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type of fracture occurs most often in children. Transverse fracture: a fracture at a right angle to the bone's axis. Oblique fracture: a fracture in which the break is at an angle to the bone’s axis. Comminuted fracture: a fracture in which the bone fragments into several pieces.

What is a Greenstick Fracture? Greenstick Fracture at Radius. The bones of the forearm are radius and ulna. The fractures may occur in three sites: proximal, medial or distal end of the bone. Greenstick fracture in this area is usually shown by an incomplete break with arm displacement. Greater force may cause complete break and therefore must be given proper medical attention.

Overview Colles' fracture. A broken wrist or broken hand is a break or crack in one of the many bones within your wrist and hand. The most common of these injuries occurs in the wrist when people try to catch themselves during a fall and land hard on an outstretched hand.

Colles' Fracture (Distal Radius Fracture or Broken Wrist) A Colles' fracture -- or distal radius fracture -- is often called a ''broken wrist.'' Technically, it's a break in the larger of the two bones in your forearm.

Colles' fracture A Colles' fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius in the forearm with dorsal (posterior) and radial displacement of the wrist and hand.The fracture is sometimes referred to as a  dinner fork  or  bayonet  deformity due to the shape of the resultant forearm.he term of Colles fracture is classically used to describe a fracture at the distal end of the radius, at its cortico-cancellous junction.

- Less commonly, a fracture may occur when a piece of the ischium bone tears away from the site where the hamstring muscles attach to the bone. This type of fracture is called an avulsion fracture and it is most common in young athletes who are still growing.

Colles Fracture Presentation and Treatment Colles fracture is a distal radius fracture that occur following a fall on outsteretched hand. Colles fractures is the most common type of distal radial fracture and is seen more commonly in elderly women because the bone is weakened by osteoporosis. Colles fracture is, however, found in all adult age groups and when it occurs in younger age groups , it usually is due to high impact trauma or fall.

Avulsion Fracture An avulsion fracture is clinically defined as a bone injury occurring in a location where a tendon or ligament attaches to a bone. Although it can happen anywhere in the body, this injury commonly occurs in a few particular locations [1]. In an avulsion fracture, a part of the cortical bone is removed from the bone by the attaching tendon.

Smith fracture Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures. The distal fracture fragment is displaced volarly (ventrally), as opposed to a Colles' fracture which the fragment is displaced dorsally.

- X-ray example of a torus or buckle fracture (red arrows) of the wrist (Lateral) Greenstick fracture: This occurs when one side of the bone breaks but the other side of the bone is simply bent (red arrows). This is occurs because children’s bones are still very soft compared to adult bones. Plastic deformation fractures: This occurs when the bones bend but do not break.

Stress Fracture A stress fracture can occur in any bone, but is commonly seen in the foot, shin, and hip bones. They rarely occur in the upper extremity because the weight of your body is not supported by your arms as it is in your legs.

- Simple fractures include: 1  Greenstick fracture: an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type of fracture occurs most often in children. 2  Transverse fracture: a fracture at a right angle to the bone's axis. 3  Oblique fracture: a fracture in which the break is at an angle to the bone’s axis.

Iliac crest avulsion Apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis are uncommon.They have been described as occurring at 5 sites in the pelvis,namely in order of prevalence, ischial tuberosity, anteriorinferior iliac spine, anterior superior iliac spine, superior angle ofpubic symphysis and iliac crest.Apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis are uncommon.

Osteochondral Lesions/Osteochondritis Dessicans The cartilage can be torn, crushed or damaged and, in rare cases, a cyst can form in the cartilage. In the knee, such cartilage damage can occur between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). In the ankle, osteochondral lesions usually occur on the talus, which is the bone that connects the leg to the foot.

Colles' Fracture Treatment Colles' fractures may be treated with or without surgery. Whether or not surgery is required will depend largely upon the type and extent of the fracture. X-rays can help the orthopedist determine which type of procedure offers the best option. Many fractures may be successfully treated using a plaster cast or splint.

- All sixteen fractures were AO type or C3, both of which have intra-articular extension andcornminution. There were ten Colles fractures (nine ofwhich were classified as Frykman type VIII and one, asFrykman type VII), two Smith fractures, and four fracturesthat could not be eponymically classified.

Greenstick fracture Greenstick fracture. Greenstick fractures on X-ray. A greenstick fracture is a fracture in a young, soft bone in which the bone bends and breaks. Greenstick fractures usually occur most often during infancy and childhood when bones are soft. The name is by analogy with green (i.e., fresh) wood which similarly breaks on the outside when bent.

Athletic Teenagers with Low Back Pain â Could it be a Lumbar Spine Stress Fracture? Most pars stress fractures occur at the lowest part of the lumbar spine, usually at the lumbar five level, but may occur at other levels. The pars stress fracture usually develops first on one side, but will develop on the other side if it is not treated early.
