A colles fracture occurs when a person tries to stop a fall by landing on his or her hands.
What are colles?
- An example of a shattered wrist is a colles fracture (fracture).
- A distal fracture with dorsal angulation is another name for it (an upward angle).
- A very painful and dangerous injury is a colles fracture.
- Colles fractures typically result after a fall onto an extended hand.
- Reaching out your hand to catch yourself in a fall puts you at risk of landing on the tiny bones that make up your hand and wrist, particularly the lunate and scaphoid.
- One of your two arm bones, the radius, receives energy from this contact.
- The dorsal end of the radius, which is located close to your wrist, fractures.
- The damaged bone tilts upward due to this fracture, which normally occurs around an inch from the end of your radius.
