A Colle's fracture is a fracture of the distal radius.
The radius is one of the two bones of the forearm (the other is the ulna). The radius is the bone that begins at the outside ("lateral" side) of the elbow and ends at the wrist joint, on the "thumb" side of the wrist.
"Distal" means that the fracture occurs at the part of the radius that is relatively further from the center of the body, i.e. at the wrist. So in plain English, a Colle's fracture is a broken bone near the wrist, on the "thumb" side.
In order to find out about Colles' fracture one can go to the relevant website and get information. Also one can get more information from the library books about this issue. Alternatively one can consult an expert in this subject to get detailed information in this field.

A Colles' fracture is a type of injury. It involves a fracture of the wrist's lower radius that causes the hand to displace backward.
A Colles fracture happens when you fall backwards and put your weight on your wrist and the radious is broken.
A Colles' fracture is typically associated with osteoporosis. The fracture occurs in the forearm and is also called a "dinner fork" fracture.
A fracture resulting from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward is called a Colles' fracture. It is a type of distal radius fracture where the bone breaks near the wrist joint, usually due to a fall on an outstretched hand. Colles' fractures typically result in a dorsal displacement of the hand and a characteristic deformity known as a "dinner fork" deformity.

The medical term for "silver fork deformity" is "colles fracture." It refers to a specific type of wrist fracture where the bone breaks near the wrist joint, resulting in a characteristic appearance resembling the shape of a silver fork.

I am studying Medical Transcription. I think you may be too. Anyway, I believe it's Colles.
