Smith Fracture
A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1] Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] 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. [3]

Introduction Wrist trauma is a common presentation to the emergency department and X-ray is typically the first-line investigation used to identify bony injuries. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to interpreting wrist X-rays and includes examples of the key pathology you may come across. Anatomy

Overview X-ray of a Smith fracture of the wrist. What is a Smith fracture? A Smith fracture is a specific type of broken wrist. 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.

Smith Fracture ATL Physio
A Smith's Fracture, sometimes also known as a Goyrand Fracture is a distal radial fracture with volar angulation of the distal fracture fragments. It usually results from a fall onto a flexed wrist or from a direct blow to the dorsal forearm. Types of Smith's Fracture

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.

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.

This fracture is often distinguished from the Colles and Smith fractures by the presence of intraarticular radiocarpal joint involvement [8, 9] . Fig. 3A —Volar and dorsal Barton fractures. A, Frontal ( A ) and lateral ( B ) radiographs in 44-year-old man with volar Barton fracture after motorcycle crash and frontal ( C ) and lateral ( D.
Smith fracture (Frykman IV)
A Smith fracture is an eponym for an extraarticular fracture of the distal radius featuring a volar displacement or angulation of the distal fragment. It is also known as a reverse Colles fracture since the more common Colles fracture features a dorsal displacement of the distal fracture fragment.
Common Distal Radial Fractures UW Emergency Radiology
There are three types of Smith's fractures. Type I is the most common with a transverse break outside the wrist joint. Type II, also called a reverse Barton fracture, is an intra-articular fracture, or a fracture that occurs on the articular surface (i.e., joint surface) of the radial-ulnar joint.

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. Figure 2 - Schematic demonstrating difference in.

Smith fractures usually occur in one of two ways: a fall onto a flexed wrist direct blow to the back of the wrist Radiographic features The fracture can be split into three types, although in practice a description suffices 1,2: type I extra-articular transverse fracture through the distal radius most common: ~85% type II
smith fracture, what to know?
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.
