For a closed reduction, the approach is the opposite of reductions completed for Colle's fractures. (wikipedia.org)
The most common type of distal radius fracture is a 'colle's' fracture, where the fracture fragment can displace dorsally. (handtherapy.com.au)
In the reverse Colle's fracture the hand and wrist are displaced volarly with respect to forearm. (orthopaper.com)
Distal radial1
A commonly used classification of distal radial fractures is the Frykman classification: Type I: Extra-articular Type II: Type I, with fracture of distal ulna Type III: Radiocarpal joint involvement Type IV: Type III with fracture of distal ulna Type V: Distal radioulnar joint involved. (wikipedia.org)
Extra-articular1
This fracture pattern included both extra articular as well as intra articular involvement and also formed part of the fracture dislocation of the wrist. (orthopaper.com)
Fragment1
The distal fracture fragment is displaced volarly (ventrally), as opposed to a Colles' fracture which the fragment is displaced dorsally. (wikipedia.org)
Deformity1
Smith in 1854 described a volar angulated fracture of the distal radius with a 'Garden Spade' deformity. (orthopaper.com)
Lateral radiography will demonstrate volar angulation / displacement of the fracture. (wikipedia.org)
Tibia1
Fracture interne avant bras, tibia ou. (daexal.fr)
Angulation1
A fracture with mild angulation and displacement may require closed reduction (putting into place without surgery). (wikipedia.org)
Radius3
A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. (wikipedia.org)
PA radiography will look very similar to a Colles' fracture, with a fracture along the distal metaphysis of the radius (can be shortened or comminuted). (wikipedia.org)
Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. (wikipedia.org)

Surgical1
An open fracture will always require surgical intervention. (wikipedia.org)
Citation1
citation needed] Complex regional pain syndrome can be reported in up to 40% of fractures. (wikipedia.org)
Common1
Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures. (wikipedia.org)
Fall2
Most of the fractures are sustained due to RTA and fall on the out stretched hand and are usually intra articular displaced. (orthopaper.com)
Fractures occur in older individuals as a result of a trivial trauma /fall owing to the lack of bone density. (orthopaper.com)
Syndrome1
There are also higher risks of carpal tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis in patients with a previous Smith fractures. (wikipedia.org)
Treatment1
Treatment of this fracture depends on the severity of the fracture. (wikipedia.org)
Cast1
An undisplaced fracture may be treated with a cast alone. (wikipedia.org)
Smith1
This fracture is named after the orthopedic surgeon, Robert William Smith (1807-1873) in his book A Treatise on Fractures in the Vicinity of Joints, and on certain forms of Accidents and Congenital Dislocations published in 1847. (wikipedia.org)
Metaphysis1
PA radiography will look very similar to a Colles' fracture, with a fracture along the distal metaphysis of the radius (can be shortened or comminuted). (wikipedia.org)
Distal6
A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. (wikipedia.org)
The distal fracture fragment is displaced volarly (ventrally), as opposed to a Colles' fracture which the fragment is displaced dorsally. (wikipedia.org)
A commonly used classification of distal radial fractures is the Frykman classification: Type I: Extra-articular Type II: Type I, with fracture of distal ulna Type III: Radiocarpal joint involvement Type IV: Type III with fracture of distal ulna Type V: Distal radioulnar joint involved. (wikipedia.org)
Type VI: Type V with fracture of distal ulna Type VII: Radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joint both involved. (wikipedia.org)
Type VIII: Type VII with fracture of distal ulna. (wikipedia.org)
Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. (wikipedia.org)
Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures. (wikipedia.org)
In the case of a Smith's fracture, the wrist must be reduced and splinted in extension. (wikipedia.org)
Splint1
X-rays of a typical Colles' fracture and fracture after reduction in the splint is shown. (nih.gov)
Reduction1
A fracture with mild angulation and displacement may require closed reduction (putting into place without surgery). (wikipedia.org)
Volar1
Lateral radiography will demonstrate volar angulation / displacement of the fracture. (wikipedia.org)
Wrist1
This program shows Colles' fracture which is produced by forces transmitted through the thenar eminence to the bones of the forearm with the wrist in a position of fixed extension. (nih.gov)
Orthopedic1
This fracture is named after the orthopedic surgeon, Robert William Smith (1807-1873) in his book A Treatise on Fractures in the Vicinity of Joints, and on certain forms of Accidents and Congenital Dislocations published in 1847. (wikipedia.org)
