Wedge-shaped fracture fragment at lower metaphysis of radius, with mild medial displacement & angulation.
Anterior subluxation of radial diaphysis over its epiphyseal plate.
Mild soft tissue swelling around wrist.
Case Discussion
Slippage of diaphysis over epiphysis, plus fracture across distal metaphysis makes it a type-II.
