Distal radius fracture - occult

Discussion:

In retrospect, there is cortical disruption to the dorsal distal radius but there is overlap with the distal ulna making this a little tricky to see. There are no helpful clues in the soft tissues either:

  • no radiocarpal soft tissue swelling
  • pronator quadratus fat pad is preserved
  • scaphoid fat pad is preserved
  • normal alignment
