image Q. 7 - Wrist twist


Q. Which of these option is best applied for below fracture?


a. Galleazzi fracture

b.Dorsal Barton fracture

c. Volar Barton fracture

d. Colles' fracture
































































Answer -
a

The radiograph shown here displays fracture of distal radius and all the options may have fracture if distal radius, but the abnormal distal radioulnar joint in this case makes it Galleazzi fracture.

Colles fracture involves only distal radius fracture mostly in elderly age.

Barton fractures involve volar or dorsal articular lip of distal radius and called volar or dorsal Barton fractures accordingly.
