Which fracture occurs at the distal end of the radius usually from reaching out to cushion a fall?

The fracture that occurs at the distal end of the radius, often from reaching out to cushion a fall, is known as a Colles' fracture. This type of fracture typically results in a dorsal angulation and often occurs in older adults with osteoporosis. It is characterized by a break in the radial bone just above the wrist. Treatment usually involves immobilization or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
