Transverse fracture of the distal radius with the distal fragment displaced anteriorly
Smith fracture
Tear of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb - thumb is bent backwards
Skier’s thumb
Chronic systemic disease with inflammatory changes occurring throughout the connective tissues – decrease technical factors
Rheumatoid arthritis
Reduction in the quantity of bone – most fractures in women over 50 years is secondary to this – decrease technical factors
Osteoporosis
Abnormally dense bone – increase technical factors
Osteopetrosis
non-inflammatory joint disease – most common type of arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Accumulated fluid in the joint cavity
Joint Effusion
Compression of the median nerve as it passes through the center of the wrist
Carpel Tunnel Sydrome
Fracture of an adult wrist in which the distal radius is fractured with the distal fragment displaced posteriorly. Results from a fall on out-stretched arm
