A fracture involving the distal end of the radius and ulna is commonly referred to as a distal radius and ulna fracture. It can also be called a distal forearm fracture. This type of fracture often occurs as a result of a fall onto an outstretched hand.

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 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 most common fracture site in both genders is the radius/ulna.
The forearm only has 2 bones: the radius and the ulna.
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.
