Answer: C: Smith's fracture 
Explanation: SMITH&;S FRACTURE (Reverse of Colles&; Fracture) This uncommon fracture is seen in adults and in elderly people. Its impoance lies in differentiating it from the commoner Colles&; fracture which occurs at the same site. It differs from Colles&; fracture in that the distal fragment displaces ventrally and tilts ventrally. Treatment is by closed reduction and plaster cast immobilisation for 6 weeks. Complications are similar to those in Colles&; fracture. Ref: Maheshwari and Mhaskar 9th ed pg 114.
