OBJECTIVE. Fractures of the distal radius are common and frequently encountered by the radiologist. We review the epidemiology, classification, as well as the concept of instabil-ity. Salient qualitative and quantitative features of the distal radius fracture identifiable on the routine radiography series are highlighted.

This injury produces what is known as a "garden-spade" deformity on X-Ray. Colles' and Smith's fractures often occur in isolation but can have other associated injuries. Isolated radial shaft fractures can occur at any location along the bone. The mechanism of injury for isolated distal third radial shaft fractures is similar to Smith.

Barton's Fracture. This is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with associated dislocation of the radio-carpal joint. A Barton fracture can be described as volar (more common) or dorsal (less common), depending on whether the volar or dorsal rim of the radius is involved.

Smith Fracture
Smith's Fracture is a fracture of the distal end of the radius caused by a fall on the back of the hand (flexed), resulting in a volar displacement of the fractured fragment. It is also known as a reverse Colles fracture.

It's caused by falling or experiencing another trauma while your wrist is bent or flexed. There are lots of different bone fractures, and it's easy for the different names to sound confusing.

A short lecture on the X-ray findings in Smith's fracture with clear X-ray illustrations.
The Wrist
Forearm fracture/dislocation. The radius and ulna form an anatomical unit, joined throughout their length by an interosseous ligament and stabilised at the elbow and wrist, thus forming a ring. If there is a fracture of the shaft of one of these bones with visible shortening, there will likely be dislocation at the wrist or elbow of the other.

Smith's fracture. Smith's fractures occur in younger patients and are the result of high energy trauma on the volar flexed wrist. Volar comminution and intraarticular extension are more common. On the left an extraarticular Smith's fracture with palmar and radial angulation and displacement. There is also an avulsion of the ulnar styloid process.
