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.
The characteristic x-ray findings of a Colles' fracture, as seen in this image, include dorsal displacement and angulation of the distal end of the radius.#F...
A colles fracture typically occurs subsequent to a fall from the standing position onto an outstretched hand with an extended wrist. Dorsal displacement of t...
One of these eponyms is the Colles fracture, which describes an extra-articular distal metaphyseal fracture of the radius with dorsal displacement. Of practical importance: jewelry should be removed during physical examination, as the trauma may cause edema and lead to ischemia due to constriction caused by the ring.

31 lip 2023 · The term Colles fracture is often used eponymously for distal fractures with dorsal angulation. These distal radius fractures are often caused by falling on an outstretched hand with the wrist in dorsiflexion, causing tension on the volar aspect of the wrist, causing the fracture to extend dorsally.
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.
