THE RÔLE OF THE DISCUS ARTICULARIS IN COLLES' FRACTURE

GRANTLEY W. TAYLOR M.D., F.A.C.S.1 and C. LANGDON PARSONS M.D., F.A.C.S.1

1 The Surgical Service of the Massachusetts General Hospital

This ligament may be injured in Colles' fracture.

This complication requires a different technique of reduction and immobilization.

Failure to recognize the injury definitely jeopardizes a favorable prognosis.
