Extraarticular Bending Fractures

  • Chapter
Fractures of the Distal Radius

Abstract

The rationale of developing an approach to understanding and treating fractures of the distal end of the radius based on their mechanism of injury becomes evident when discussing the “bending fracture.” Given the fact that the vast literature on the subject of distal radius fractures has more often than not combined numerous fracture patterns under eponymic descriptions (Colles, Pouteau, Goyrand), it is no wonder there continues to exist so much disagreement regarding optimal treatment and expected outcome. By subdividing these fractures on the basis of specific anatomic patterns, it is own hope that the reader can better appreciate the specific features inherent with each fracture type. This then facilitates the formulation of effective treatment plans based on the needs of the fracture and of the patient.
