8 paź 2023 · Colles fractures are very common extra-articular fractures of the distal radius that occur as the result of a fall onto an outstretched hand. They consist of a fracture of the distal radial metaphyseal region with dorsal angulation and impaction, but without the involvement of the articular surface.
Radiographs revealed an extra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dorsal displacement. This describes a Colles fracture.
Age: 13 years. Gender: Male. x-ray. Frontal. Lateral. There is a minimally displaced fracture through the distal left radial metaphyseal region with dorsal angulation of the distal fracture component, keeping with a Colles fracture. Accompanied ulnar styloid fracture is also evident.
31 lip 2023 · The Colles fracture is defined as a distal radius fracture with dorsal comminution, dorsal angulation, dorsal displacement, radial shortening, and an associated ulnar styloid fracture. The term Colles fracture is often used eponymously for distal fractures with dorsal angulation.
12 sty 2008 · A Colles' fracture is a fracture of the distal metaphysis of the radius with dorsal angulation and displacement leading to a 'silver fork deformity'. Colles fractures are seen more frequently with advancing age and in women with osteoporosis.
30 paź 2023 · Colles fracture typically occurs when a person falls and uses a pronated hand and outstretched arm to try to break the fall. In this position, the wrist is usually at 40-90° in dorsiflexion. The pressure from the fall over-extends the hand and breaks the radius just above the wrist.
