Barton's Fracture
General Considerations
- Intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with subluxation/dislocation of the wrist
- The lunate maintains its relationship with the fracture fragment
- May involve the volar aspect of the radius (sometimes called “reverse Barton fracture”) or the dorsal aspect
- Volar type is more common
- Most common fracture-dislocation of the wrist
