What is a non-displaced scaphoid fracture?

The radius is one of two bones of the forearm. It's on the thumb side of your forearm. It's wide at the wrist end (distal) and narrow at the elbow end (proximal).The radial head is the name of the part of the radius at the elbow end of the forearm and forms part of the elbow joint.A non-displaced fracture just means that the fractured (broken) pieces of bone are not moved out of place. Another way of stating this is that the bone is cracked. It's broken all the way through but not moved out of its normal position.


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.
