title: [Eponyms of distal radius fractures. Colles-Pouteau, Smith-Goyrand and Barton fractures and their importance in the trauma surgery patient sample].
abstract: Fractures at the distal end of the radius are quite common. So, these fractures are well known to represent consequences of industrial accidents leading to temporary unfitness for work, too. Eponym descriptions of fractures may mislead authors and readers as well if used in a non-uniform way in medical literature. Using the original articles of the first describing authors a clear distinction of eponyms concerning fractures near to the wrist joint is given. The authors of this feature report of the clinical experience in treatment and results of distal radius fractures in combination with aspects of expert opinions on these fractures.
