Welcome to Vrije Universiteit Brussel's Evidence-based Practice project. This space was created by and for the students in the Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy program of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium. Please do not edit unless you are involved in this project, but please come back in the near future to check out new information!!

[edit | edit source]

We consulted Pubmed to search for randomized clinical trials. These are the words we used: Colles’ fracture physical therapy, colles’ fracture epidemiology, distal radius fracture, treatment colles fracture..[1]

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]

File:Colles Fracture 2.jpg
Dinner Fork Deformity
  • "Dinner Fork" Deformity[2]
  • History of fall on an outstretched hand
  • Dorsal wrist pain
  • Sweling of the wrist
  • Increased angulation of the distal radius
  • Inability to grasp object[3]

Diagnostic Procedures[edit | edit source]

  • Radiographic Imaging - dorsally angulated fracture of distal radial metaphysis
  • CT Scan

Classifications of Distal Radial (Colles') Fracture

  • Universal Classification of Dorsally Displaced Distal Radial Fractures Type I - undisplaced
  • Universal Classification of Dorsally Displaced Distal Radial Fractures Type II - displaced
  • Melone Type I - undisplaced and minimally comminuted
  • Frykman Type I - distal radial fracture without distal ulnar fracture
  • Frykman Type II - distal radial fracture with distal ulnar fracture[1]

Outcome Measures[edit | edit source]

  • DASH
  • Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE)
  • Green Score
  • O'Brian Score [4][5][6][7]

Management / Interventions
[edit | edit source]

[8]

Conservative Treatment

  • Immobilization in cast/splint - typically positioned in slight flexion, pronation
  • Percutaneous Pinning

Surgical Intervention

Differential Diagnosis
[edit | edit source]

Must differentially diagnose a Colles' Fracture from:

  • Carpal fracture/dislocation (particularly scaphoid and lunate)
  • Distal ulnar fracture
  • Metacarpal fracture[2]
