Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]

Low energy extra-articular fracture of the distal radius.  Can be associated with ulnar styloid fracture, TFCC tear, scapholunate dissociation.[1]

Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process
[edit | edit source]

MOI: forced dorsiflexion of the wrist (FOOSH injury)

  • Fracture is typically dorsally displaced and angulated
  • Dorsal surface undergoes compression, while volar surface undergoes tension
  • Typically occurs in elderly individuals.[1]

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]

  • "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 (PRWE)

Management / Interventions
[edit | edit source]

add text here relating to management approaches to the condition

Case Studies[edit | edit source]

add links to case studies here (case studies should be added on new pages using the case study template)

References[edit | edit source]
