A Colles fracture happens when you fall backwards and put your weight on your wrist and the radious is broken.
It takes about 3 weeks to heal a buckle fracture in the wrist.
Radiocarpal refers to the radius and wrist.
Wrist
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.
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 is a specific type of wrist fracture in which the radius bone in the forearm breaks near the wrist joint. It is typically caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand and can result in pain, swelling, and limited wrist mobility. Treatment usually involves immobilizing the wrist with a splint or cast, and sometimes surgery may be required.
