Smith fractures usually occur in one of two ways: a fall onto a flexed wrist direct blow to the back of the wrist Radiographic features The fracture can be split into three types, although in practice a description suffices 1,2: type I extra-articular transverse fracture through the distal radius most common: ~85% type II

Explaining What Smith's Fracture Is Physioroom Blog
A Smith fracture is an eponym for an extraarticular fracture of the distal radius featuring a volar displacement or angulation of the distal fragment. It is also known as a reverse Colles fracture since the more common Colles fracture features a dorsal displacement of the distal fracture fragment.

OBJECTIVE. Fractures of the distal radius are common and frequently encountered by the radiologist. We review the epidemiology, classification, as well as the concept of instabil-ity. Salient qualitative and quantitative features of the distal radius fracture identifiable on the routine radiography series are highlighted.

There are three types of Smith's fractures. Type I is the most common with a transverse break outside the wrist joint. Type II, also called a reverse Barton fracture, is an intra-articular fracture, or a fracture that occurs on the articular surface (i.e., joint surface) of the radial-ulnar joint.
Common Distal Radial Fractures UW Emergency Radiology
Forearm fracture/dislocation. The radius and ulna form an anatomical unit, joined throughout their length by an interosseous ligament and stabilised at the elbow and wrist, thus forming a ring. If there is a fracture of the shaft of one of these bones with visible shortening, there will likely be dislocation at the wrist or elbow of the other.

A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1] Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. [3]

Overview X-ray of a Smith fracture of the wrist. What is a Smith fracture? A Smith fracture is a specific type of broken wrist.

Smith fracture (Frykman IV)
Barton's Fracture. This is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with associated dislocation of the radio-carpal joint. A Barton fracture can be described as volar (more common) or dorsal (less common), depending on whether the volar or dorsal rim of the radius is involved.
