What type of fracture is a Colles' fracture?
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.

What will a sports medicine doctor do for a hyperxtension wrist and thumb?
First of all, there is a large amount of uncertainty as to what was meant by a 'hyperextension wrist and thumb'. If there is a specific fracture, such as the common Colles fracture, which may very well cause hyperextension of the wrist in traumatic fashion, then the sports physician will generally speaking reset the fracture if necessary (under anesthesia when warranted), and proceed to cast the forearm/hand. If the problem is not fracture, but say tendon injury, splinting may be offered with suggestion of RICE therapy (rest, icing, compression, elevation) along with prescription of NSAIDS for both their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

You cant tell if you have a hairline fracture on your tibia or just a bad bruise how can you tell?
You can tell with X-rays, but it's really not worth it. The treatment is much the same- cooling, rest and elevation. A hairline fracture doesn't normally require a cast, so just be prudent in your activities for six to eight weeks.
