These are very common fractures, especially in women over 65 years of age with osteoporosis. It is the <strong>most common wrist fracture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9-\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd\">Fracture types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many types of wrist fractures. A dorsally displaced, extra-articular fracture of the distal radius is the most common type, and it is known as a Colles fracture. A volubly displaced fracture is often called a Smith's fracture. Intra-articular fractures are also common (ie, Barton's fractures).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03b1\u03af\u03c4\u03b9\u03b1\">Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The most common cause of a broken wrist is a <strong>fall on the outstretched hand<\/strong>. This is one of the most common fractures related to osteoporosis in people &gt; 65 years of age, second in line after hip fractures. Wrist fractures also occur during sports that involve frequent falls, such as snowboarding or skating, as well as contact sports. They can be a consequence of car accidents, that can result in very comminuted and challenging fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the position of the wrist at the time of injury, the resulting fractures may have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dorsal displacement (Colles fracture)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Volar displacement (Smith fracture)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intra-articular fractures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-energy fractures with comminution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\">Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of a distal radius fracture may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Severe pain after the injury<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling and bruising of the wrist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obvious deformity of the wrist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numbness and tingling, if your nerve is bruised<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In some cases there is a possibility of <strong>associated lesions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Triangular fibrocartilage complex<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/en\/rixi-trigonou-xondrou\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6509\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TFCC<\/a><\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scapholunate injury<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Median nerve injury or bruising (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/en\/syndromo-karpiaiou-solina\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"867\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">carpal tunnel syndrome<\/a><\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7\">Diagnosis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The doctor will take a detailed history and examine you carefully.
