Fracture with a dorsal tilt. Dorsal is left, and volar is right in the image. There are a number of ways to classify<unk><unk>  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. Most wrist fracture systems have failed to accomplish any of these goals and there is no consensus about the most useful one. At one extreme, a stable undisplaced extra-articular fracture has an excellent prognosis. On the other hand, an unstable, displaced intra-articular fracture is difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis without operative intervention. Eponyms such as Colles', Smith's, and Barton's fractures are discouraged.
