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.
