Summary

These are posteroanterior (PA) and lateral radiographs of the wrist that show an extra-articular distal radius fracture. On the PA view, the radial height and inclination are maintained. On the lateral view, there is dorsal comminution with dorsal angulation of the distal radius. The radiographs also showed thumb carpometacarpal arthritis.
