<unk>  of the left hand, with posterior displacement clearly visible. Diagnosis can be made upon interpretation of anteroposterior and lateral views alone. The classic<unk>  has the following characteristics: * Transverse fracture of the radius * 2.5 cm (0.98 inches) proximal to the radio-carpal joint * dorsal displacement and dorsal angulation, together with radial tilt Other characteristics: * Radial shortening * Loss of ulnar inclination≤ * Radial angulation of the wrist * Comminution at the fracture site * Associated fracture of the ulnar styloid process in more than 60% of cases. Classification The term<unk>  is classically used to describe a fracture at the distal end of the radius, at its cortico-cancellous junction. However, the term now tends to be used loosely to describe any fracture of the distal radius, with or without involvement of the ulna, that has dorsal displacement of the fracture fragments.<unk>  himself described it as a fracture that “takes place at about an inch and a half (38mm) above the carpal extremity of the radius” and “the carpus and the base of metacarpus appears to be thrown backward”. The fracture is sometimes referred to as a "dinner fork" or "bayonet" deformity due to the shape of the resultant forearm.<unk> s can be categorized according to several systems including Frykman, Gartland & Werley, Lidström, Nissen-Lie and the Older's classifications.
