A Coles fracture is a fracture that occurs within 2 cm of the articular surface of the distal radius. Coles fractures occur in 10% of adult fractures. A Coles fracture is characterized by displacement of the distal end of the fracture to the dorsal radial side, causing a fork-like deformity of the wrist joint. Coles fracture, also known as distal radius fracture, can be divided into Coles fracture, Smith fracture and Barton’s fracture, among which Coles fracture is the most common. If one slips and props the ground with the palm of the hand, it is easy to cause Coles fracture, which causes the distal radius to be displaced to the dorsal side.
