What is a fractured distal radius and a fractured distal ulna?
457137
The radius is the bone in the thumb side of your forearm, the ulna is the bone on the little finger side.  In other words, if you feel the point of your elbow, that's the end of your ulna, and it continues up the underside of your arm (if you point your thumb up).  The radius is the other bone (the upper side of your forearm, in that same position).  \n\nThe term "distal" refers to being "distant" from the center of the body, so a "distal" fracture means that it is nearer the wrist than the elbow.  A "proximal" fracture would be nearer the elbow.\n\nHope this helps.

probably a ganglion.  i have one on my left wrist and it's just like what you described.

The anatomical snuff box is located between the tendos of the extensor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis. These two tendons are visible when you extend your thumb. This region not only has the radial artery passing throught it, it also has one of the bones of the wrist joint called the scaphoid bone. Any pain or haemorraging in this area after a fall may be due to a fracture of the scaphoid bone

It certainly could mean a fracture which can be just as bad as a break. You didn't say how long ago this happened, but if you're feeling these symptoms a couple days after the incident you should see your Doctor about getting it X-rayed.

Tap on the end of your finger.  If you have "shooting" pain that could indicate a possible fracture.  You may also want to worry about your flexor tendon being ruptured.  You cannot flex your finger at all at the distal joint?  This concerns me more that a fracture.  Go see the Doctor.  Also real quick....when you press down on your finger nail of the injured finger, it should go white as the blood is squeezed out and should See if this happens.  It should.  Good luck.

It is both.  It is a name for the bones at the end of your extremities (arms and legs)

A joint  is the location at which two bones make contact (articulate). Joints are constructed to both allow movement and provide mechanical support.\n\n\n\n\nBall and socket joints, such as the hip joint. These allow a wide arrange of movement. \n\nGliding joints, such as in the carpals of the wrist. These joints allow a wide variety of movement, but not much distance. \n\n\nPivot joints, such as the elbow (between the radius and the ulna). This is where one bone rotates about another.

There are a lot of bones in the wrist, if you've moved or fractured a small bone, there c/b changes inside.  It's weird that your pinkie and thumb hurt and the fingers between you haven't mentioned. Pinkie could also be from your lateral epicondyle (elbow) and thumb..De Quervains Tenosynovitis. Ask the doc (or better yet, ask a physiotherapist) to assess you for those conditions too.  How's the other hand? Is this your dominant hand?

As there are many bones in your arm n some of them quite small really only an x-ray can tell for sure.......and it could be that you have chipped the bone rather than broken it .....see a doctor xx

Broken leg - specifically the lower leg.

It's one of the muscles in a bird's arm. It extends from the distal humerus to the ulna (forearm). Pronator muscles rotate the forearm inwards.

Necrosis of the wrist is not like other kinds of aggressive necrosis like the other answerers are suggesting.  Actually the wrist has about 8 carpal bones.  The most commonly fractured are the scaphoid bone and the lunate bone.  They have very fragile little blood vessels which feed them.  If you break either of those bones, the blood supply to that bone can be disrupted and a part of the bone can die.  That is the necrosis, actually called avascular necrosis because the vascular supply is broken when the bone is broken.  Because the tiny bones in your wrist interact so precisely it is important to rebuild the damaged bone so arthritis and pain don't become a problem as your son gets older.  I think your doctor is right to do the surgery but make sure he is experienced in this type of delicate surgery.  I think things will work out well.  There is no way your son will lose his arm or anything like that.  At the worst he may have some mild loss of flexibility and some arthritis pain later in life.  More likely he will do great and forget about this whole thing in a couple of months!  Good luck.  Hope that helps.

Ok you either bruised the bone or you have a heel spur; or both!  Maybe you had a heel-spur and it broke off when you fell. OR..you may have cracked your heel, which no orthopedic doc can do anything about..no cast or anything.   Only way to know is see a doc and have an xray.  Otherwise, soak in ice, take asiprin for inflammation with food, and grit your teeth.

sound like you pulled something.The only way to know if it's fractured is go to a doctor for x-rays.\nAsk your gym teacher for tips on weight lifting before you really get hurt.There are proper ways of lifting.
