Intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with volar displacement of the carpal bones. Fracture ulnar styloid process.
Case Discussion
Barton fractures are distal radius fractures that extend to the articular surface with dislocation of the carpal bones. They can be classified as volar-type Barton fracture (also known as reverse Barton fracture), in which the carpal bones are displaced anterior or dorsal-type Barton fracture. Fracture of the ulnar styloid process is a common association.
