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 term Colles fracture is classically used to describe a fracture at the distal end of the radius, at its cortico-cancellous junction. However, the term now tends to be used loosely to describe any fracture of the distal radius, with or without involvement of the ulna, that has dorsal displacement of the fracture fragments.
One of these eponyms is the Colles fracture, which describes an extra-articular distal metaphyseal fracture of the radius with dorsal displacement. Although Colles fractures are extremely common, a bilateral presentation has been reported to be present in <1% of cases 1.
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.
Distal radial metaphysis fracture that is dorsally displaced and angulated. Fracture line may extend into radioulnar or radiocarpal joint ("die-punch" fracture) Occurs due to FOOSH. Ulnar styloid fracture is often present and suggests injury to TFCC.
30 paź 2023 · The Colles fracture, the most common fracture of the wrist, was first described by Abraham Colles in 1814. In this injury, there is a complete fracture of the distal radius (typically the last two centimeters) usually accompanied by damage to the ulnar collateral ligament or the ulnar styloid process.
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.
