Frontal
Probable undisplaced fracture through the radial styloid, extending into the radiocarpal joint.
Deformity involving the scaphoid likely relates to old trauma.
Widening of the scapho-lunate joint space, with proximal migration of the capitate compatible with SLAC wrist.
Case Discussion
Appearances of the carpus (SLAC wrist) are chronic. The distal radius fracture is acute.
