The treatment of fractures . Fig. 307.—Reduction of Colles fracture. Note position of hands in forcibly hyperextendingthe lower fragment; breaking up Fig. 308.—Reduction of Colles fracture. Note grasp upon forearm and the lower fragment ofthe radius, traction and countertraction being made ; breaking up the impaction. creptius is soft and cartilaginous, and easily obtained without ananesthetic. The treatment of separation of the lower radialepiphysis is similar to that of a Colles fracture. A fracture ofthe lower radial epiphysis is occasionally seen ; it is, however, arare lesion (see Fig. 304). Associated with every Colles fracture there may be one ormore of the following lesions : A fracture through the lower 2 $2 FRACTURES OF THE BONES OF THE FOREARM end of the ulna, which is rather rare (see Fig. 305). A fractureof the styloid process of the ulna, which occurs in about fifty tosixty-five per cent, of all cases (see Fig. 300). A rupture of theinterarticular triangular fibrocartilage at its insertion into the baseof the styloid process of the ulna. This is probably quite com-mon, and accounts in part for the broadening of the
