Unusual fracture of the distal radius.
A case of an unusual variant (Frykman's Type VII) of a Colles' fracture is presented. Cadaver dissection was utilized to study the distal radioulnar joint. The recommended mechanism of reduction is in supination and ulnar deviation. The final result demonstrated an excellent range of motion in a reasonable period of time.
