Colles Fracture.—This is a fracture of the lower end of the radius,occurring in adults about one inch above the articular surface ( and 128). In children an incomplete fracture may exist at aboutthe same point, due to separation of the lower epiphysis of the radius(see Fig. 115). Colles fracture is usually transverse and due to a fallupon the outstretched hand. There may be great displacement of thelower fragment, usually upward and outward, with displacement of theupper fragment and entire ulnar side of the arm downward and inward,so that the hand is carried to the radial side and backward.
