The treatment of fractures . __ Ulna. f~y-_ Displaced styloid process (-^ of ulna. Fig. 300.—Colles fracture with fracture of base of ulnar styloid ; outward displacementof styloid fragment. Shaft of radius driven into the lower fragment (Massachusetts GeneralHospital, 1173. X-ray tracing).. Fig. 301.—Radial fracture upward and outward (Massachusetts General Hospital, 1126. X-ray tracing). is conspicuous over the back of the wrist-joint and, therefore, nearthe hand. There is tenderness upon pressure over the synovialmembrane anteroposteriorly. There is little or no tendernessover the radius upon deep pressure. There is an absence of thepositive signs of fracture. It is not an uncommon experienceto find an injury to the lower end of the radius presenting nopositive fracture signs, which is proved by the Rontgen ray tobe a break of the lower end of the radius. A lesion somewhatresembling that shown in figure 292, the bone being cracked 28 FRACTURES OF THE BONES OF THE FOREARM along those same lines but without displacement, is found toexist. Many of these obscure lesions are passed over as sprainsof the wrist. Any injury to the wrist, no matter how trivial,should be regarded with suspicion until there is absolute proofthat fracture is absent. A Contusion of One or Both Bo
