Simultaneous Bennett's and distal radius fractures treated with external fixation. A case report.
Colles' fracture is rarely associated with a carpal or metacarpal fracture. We report a case of ipsilateral, simultaneous Bennett's and distal radius fracture after moderate trauma. Closed reduction and external fixation led to uneventful healing and no residual symptoms.
