Colles' fracture
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.
When the palm of the hand faces backward, the radius crosses over the ulna in the forearm. This movement helps to rotate the forearm and allow the hand to face backward.
the tibia is commonly referred to as the shin bone- if fractured at the distal end, it would involve the ankle- immobilization w/ a splint (casting) is the usual treatment. A tibial fracture at the proximal end -near the knee is more complex and may require surgery. All fractures of bones require immobilization of the affected portion to heal initially.

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 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.

Pronation of the hand results in the distal end of the radius being medial to the ulna and the palms facing backward or downward. This position is in contrast to the supination of the anatomic position.
