• Fracture

  • A broken bone. 
• Colles’ fx

  • a break in the distal part of the radius.
  • posterior displacement fx of the distal radius
• Comminuted fx

  • fracture results in fragmentation of the bone. 

  
• Compression fx 

  • crushed break 
  • mostly sa mga nag-i-sky diving

  
• Nondisplaced or oblique fx

  • the broken bones retain their alignment

• smith’s fx - anterior displacement of the distal radius
• Monteggia fx - fracture of ulnar shaft and head. 
• Galeazzi fx - fracture of distal radius and ulna
• Essex fx(comminuted fracture of distal radius and ulna) - radial head and distal radio-ulna
