Distal radius fractures are common, [3] and are the most common type of fractures that are seen in children. [4] Distal radius fractures represent between 25% and 50% of all broken bones and occur most commonly in young males and older females. [3] [2] A year or two may be required for healing to occur. [1]
Radial head fracture; Radial head fracture (red arrow) with posterior and anterior sail sign (blue arrows) Specialty: Orthopedic: Symptoms: Pain or tenderness over the radial head; bruising; swelling; limited range of motion. Causes: Fall on an outstretched arm: Diagnostic method: Based on of clinical symptoms and medical imaging: Treatment
A subtle radial head fracture with associated positive sail sign. The fat pad sign, also known as the sail sign, is a potential finding on elbow radiography which suggests a fracture of one or more bones at the elbow. It may indicate an occult fracture that is not directly visible.

There are four types (depending upon displacement of the radial head): [3] Bado Classification - Monteggia Fractures. I - Extension type (60%) - ulna shaft angulates anteriorly (extends) and radial head dislocates anteriorly. II - Flexion type (15%) - ulna shaft angulates posteriorly (flexes) and radial head dislocates posteriorly.
A skull fracture is a break in one or more of the eight bones that form the cranial portion of the skull, usually occurring as a result of blunt force trauma.If the force of the impact is excessive, the bone may fracture at or near the site of the impact and cause damage to the underlying structures within the skull such as the membranes, blood vessels, and brain.
A boxer's fracture is the break of the fifth metacarpal bone of the hand near the knuckle. [4] Occasionally, it is used to refer to fractures of the fourth metacarpal as well. [1] Symptoms include pain and a depressed knuckle. [2] Classically, it occurs after a person hits an object with a closed fist. [3]
Fracture with a dorsal tilt. Dorsal is left, and volar is right in the image. There are a number of ways to classify distal radius fractures.Classifications systems are devised to describe patterns of injury which will behave in predictable ways, to distinguish between conditions which have different outcomes or which need different treatments.
