Broken arm and dislocated wrist
Broken arm and dislocated wrist. Coloured X-ray showing a fracture (centre) of the radius bone in the forearm and a dislocation of the wrist joint at the end of the ulna bone (centre left). There are two main types of fracture: a simple fracture where the bones break cleanly, or a compound fracture where the ends of the broken bones pierce the skin. Treatment of a dislocation requires that the bones are manipulated back into their correct position. Treatment for a fracture may involve realignment of the bone ends, combined with immobilization by external splints or internal fixation until the bones have healed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a vividly colored X-ray image of a broken arm and dislocated wrist. In the center, we can observe a fracture in the radius bone of the forearm, while at the center-left, there is a dislocation of the wrist joint located at the end of the ulna bone. Fractures can be classified into two main types: simple fractures where bones break cleanly or compound fractures where broken bone ends pierce through the skin. The treatment for a dislocation involves carefully manipulating the bones back into their correct position. On the other hand, treating a fracture may require realigning the broken bone ends and immobilizing them using external splints or internal fixation until they have fully healed. This intricate process helps restore functionality to these vital skeletal structures. This remarkable image provides valuable insight into both diagnosis and treatment methods employed in cases involving such injuries. It serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals seeking to understand various anatomical disorders related to bones and joints within our human body.
