AB A  65-year-old  woman  tripped  on  a  rug  in  her  home  and  fell  on  her  outstretched  hand  with  her  wrist  dorsiflexed  (extended).  She  felt  immediate  pain  in  her  wrist  and  has  difficulty  in  moving  her  wrist  or  hand.  She  has  been  postmenopausal  for  15  years  and  has  never  taken  hormone  replacement  therapy  or  bisphosphates.  She  presented  with  pain  and  swelling  in  her  wrist.  Her  arm  had  a  “dinner-fork”  deformity.  Radiographs  showed  a  distal  radius  fracture  with  dorsal  angulation  on  the  lateral  view  (Figure  103-1).
