Fig. 141 isa typical Colles fracture, in which the main fracture is a transverse.

The epiphyseal linesare well marked, indicating the youth of the patient. In thesecases it seems that the line of injury would be at the epiphyseal X-RAY IN FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS 313 line, where a displacement of the epiphysis would take place, butsuch an occurrence seldom happens. In only a few of the manycases of fracture of the lower end of the radius in the youth seenby the author were there displacements of the epiphyses. In Fig. 142 the radius is fractured about 2 inches above its lowerarticular surface. This patient was 18 years old, and the radial-epiphyseal line was almost obliterated, while the epiphyseal line in
