  1. Wrist Fx • Wrist fractures occur most often in a fall or in a motor vehicle accident, but any sufficiently strong force on the hand can break the wrist. The wrist can be broken from a sudden force pushing the hand backwards.

  4. Colle’sFx • A Colles' fracture, also Colles fracture, is a distal fracture of the radius in the forearm with dorsal (posterior) displacement of the wrist and hand. The fracture is sometimes referred to as a "dinner fork" or "bayonet" deformity due to the shape of the resultant forearm. For a more detailed discussion see distal radius fracture.

  5. Smith Fx • A Smith's fracture, also sometimes known as a reverse Colles' fracture is a fracture of the distal radius. 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. Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures.

  6. Chauffer’s Fx • Chauffeur's fracture is a type of fracture of the forearm, specifically the radial styloid process. The injury is typically caused by compression of the scaphoid bone of the hand against the styloid process of the distal radius. It can be caused by falling onto an outstretched hand. Treatment is often open reduction and internal fixation, which is surgical realignment of the bone fragments and fixation with pins, screws, or plates.

  7. MONTEGGIA • The Monteggia fracture is a fracture of the ulna that affects the joint with the radius. More precisely, it is a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with the dislocation of the head of radius.

  8. Galeazzi • The Galeazzi fracture is a fracture of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. It classically involves an isolated fracture of the junction of the distal third and middle third of the radius with associated subluxation or dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint; the injury disrupts the forearm axis joint

  9. Elbow dislocation • A person with an elbow dislocation has a bone in the elbow that has come out of place. The elbow joint is made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm), radius, and ulna. Most elbow dislocations in adults occur in combination with an elbow fracture. The most common elbow dislocation occurs in children, called nursemaid's elbow, where there is a dislocation of the radius in the elbow joint.
