Barton fracture
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Barton fractures are fractures of the distal radius. It is also sometimes termed the dorsal type Barton fracture to distinguish it from the volar type or reverse Barton fracture.
Barton fractures extend through the dorsal aspect to the articular surface but not to the volar aspect. Therefore, it is similar to a Colles fracture. There is usually associated dorsal subluxation/dislocation of the radiocarpal joint.
History and etymology
First named by John Rhea Barton (1794-1871), an American orthopaedic surgeon; working at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, United States of America 1.
