==History and Symptoms==
===History===
*Symptoms of [[distal radius fracture]] include [[pain]], [[deformity]], and restricted wrist movements. 
Patients usually present with a history of an injury and localized [[Pain and nociception|pain]]. They frequently also notice deformity of the wrist and swelling. Numbness of the hand can occur. Inability to use the hand is also common. This is the most commonly occurring fracture in adults. Common fragility fracture in the elderly. Also a common injury in children where it may involve the [[epiphysis|growth plate]]. A similar fracture in children involving the growth plate is called a Salter Harris Fracture.  It is less common in young adults but because it requires greater force, the injury is often very severe in this age group.

[[Scaphoid_fracture|Scaphoid fracture]]; wrist dislocation. Injuries to the elbow, humerus and shoulder are also common after a FOOSH (fall on out-stretched hand). Swelling and displacement can cause an acute [[carpal tunnel syndrome]].
