Illustration shows Frykman type VII and type VIII injuries.
Case Discussion
The Frykman system is often used to classify distal radial fractures. Our patient has a type VII injury: a transverse fracture of the distal radius with extension into both the radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joints without an ulnar styloid fracture.
