Colle’s fracture
is a transverse fracture of the distal radius just above the wrist with dorsal displacement of the distal fragment.
It’s the most common of all fractures in older people.
Mechanism of injury fall on outstretched hand, its either
undisplaced or displaced . In displaced fracture the distal fragment
collapses into extension, dorsal displacement, radial tilt and shortening.

Comminuted colles fracture: Complications: Early: 1-circulation of the fingers. Median nerve compression. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy: swelling and tenderness of the fingers joints,
stiffness, signs of vasomotor instability. X-rays shows osteoporosis. Ligamental injury. Late : Malunion. Delay union. Non union Stiffness of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers. Osteo arthritis.

Smith fracture: Treatment:
Distal forearm fracture in children (juvenile colles:)
The fracture may occur through the distal radial physis or in the metaphysic of one or both bones. Metaphyseal fravtures are often incomplete or green-stick.Mechanism of injury:

Caused by forced radial deviation of the wrist.the fracture line is extend laterally from the articular surface of the radius.
Treatment:

Fracture- sublaxation of the radiocarpal joint: (Barton's fracture)
Volar or dorsal sublaxation, Treatment : undisplaced fracture: casting
below elbow for 6wks. Displaced fracture: open
reduction and internal fixation.

Complications of radiocarpal fractures: Early: 1-associated injuries of the carpus. 2- redisplacement. Late: 1- carpal instability. 2-secondary osteoarthritis.

Carpal injuries
Scaphoid fractures: Its account for almost 75% of all carpal
fractures, its rare in the elderly and children.
Mechanism of fracture: fall on dorsiflexed
hand. Stable and unstable fractures.

X-ray : AP, Lateral and oblique views .
Treatment: Undisplaced fracture : casting on glass-
holding position for 6 wks. Displaced fracture: open reduction and
internal fixation.

Complications: Avascular necrosis: the proximal
fragment may die, especially with proximal pole fracture. It appears dense on X-ray after 2-3 months.
Non-union: if the fracture is not united after 3 months.
Osteoarthritis

Metacarpal fractures:
Fracture of metacarpal shaft: transverse or spiral
Fracture of the metacarpal neck: usually of the 5th finger (boxer's fracture), localized swelling with flattening of the knuckle.
Fracture of the metacarpal base.
