Colles' fracture

The lifetime risk of sustaining a Colles' fracture is about 16% for white women.

Colles' fractures are very common; they're the most frequently broken bone in the arm.

Colles' fractures are often seen in people with osteoporosis.

Fractured wrist (a Colles' fracture, when the person falls onto an outstretched hand).

It is called a Colles' fracture.

Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures.

Colles' fracture is a common fracture in people with osteoporosis, second only to vertebral fractures.

A Colles' fracture - or distal radius fracture - is often called a "broken wrist."

Carpal displacement distinguishes this fracture from a Smith's or a Colles' fracture.

A popliteal aneurism, a Colles' fracture, a spina bifida, a tropical abscess, and an elephantiasis.

Professor Abraham Colles of Anatomy - the first person to characterize the injury that was later on known as Colles' fracture.

A Smith's fracture, also sometimes known as a reverse Colles' fracture is a fracture of the distal radius.

The volar forearm splint is best for temporary immobilization of forearm, wrist and hand fractures, including Colles' fracture.

The quarry was owned by the Colles family, a famous member being Professor Abraham Colles who gave his name to the Colles' fracture.

Colles' Fracture (Distal Radius Fracture or Broken Wrist)

The distal fracture fragment is displaced volarly (ventrally), as opposed to a Colles' fracture which the fragment is displaced dorsally.

A Colles' fracture, also Colles fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius in the forearm with dorsal (posterior) displacement of the wrist and hand.

Colles gave his name to a seminal text on surgical anatomy and to a number of medical terms including Colles' facia, Colles' fracture and Colles' law.

Medical disorders that lead to fluid retention or are associated with inflammation such as: inflammatory arthritis, Colles' fracture, amyloidosis, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, acromegaly, and use of corticosteroids and estrogens.

It is caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm or falling onto flexed wrists, as opposed to a Colles' fracture which occurs as a result of falling onto wrists in extension.

He is remembered as a skillful surgeon and for his 1814 paper On the Fracture of the Carpal Extremity of the Radius; this injury continues to be known as Colles' fracture.

She does not use the same parsing strategy when considering Colles' fractures (of the wrist, usually occur when falling onto one's hands) may result from being pushed from a height rather than interpersonal violence, and this is not acknowledged.

April - Abraham Colles publishes "On the Fracture of the Carpal Extremity of the Radius" in the Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, describing the injury which continues to be known as Colles' fracture.

In his 1847 book A Treatise on Fractures in the Vicinity of Joints and on Certain Forms of Accidental and Congenital Dislocations he corrected Colles's description of the Colles' fracture, stating that:

Most of these names are applied to specific patterns of distal radius fracture but confusion exists because "Colles' fracture" is used (for example by the US National Library of Medicine ) as a generic term for distal radius fracture.
