message: Mylesclough removed it 8th oct 2005 (yes 2005) and no one noticed!! there were 42 edits since it's removal, yet it was never fixed.
not sure why this Mylesclough dude removed it, he seemed to removed a few things on the 8th and over the course of the next couple of days, added stuff back. why do this? why delete and make the article unreadable and poor? why wait to add stuff back? people like that should not edit.
i do wonder why no one noticed, as without it, the sentence made absolutely no sense at all! makes you wonder what type of people read this page (and also edit it...)
i have fixed it, but in future, when you edit, please read what you've written... 194.221.133.211 12:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi All,
I was planning on expanding on the "Surgery" section (5.5) to include a recent meta-analysis of 16 studies that compared the complication rates between the 2 more common fixation techniques for distal radial fractures: open reduction internal fixation w/ plates (ORIF) vs. external fixation.Johnkimknights (talk) 03:31, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello!
I intend to clean up the classification section and give more detail regarding each classification. I also intend to add more pictures of the different classification systems.
I also intend to develop the prognosis section (nonoperative vs operative) as well as add complications following injury and/or treatment.
Hopefully this will help physicians in classifying these fractures as well as inform patients what they can expect regarding their injury.
Thank you!

thread_title:  Classification/Prognosis Changes 

message: -Alibabamd here. Would just like to make a few recommendations with the article. Overall, it seems like a lot has been added. I've noticed a couple of small things that could use improvement and will list them here:
-"A classic "dinner fork" deformity may be seen in dorsally angulated fractures due to dorsal displacement of the carpus. The reverse deformity may be seen in volarly angulated fractures."
might help to define dorsally and volarly beforehand?
-"Distal radius fractures are associated with injury to the carpal interosseous ligaments (predominantly the scapholunate and lunatotriquetral ligaments)"
maybe add links to interosseous ligaments
-"a fracture would occurs" "Similarly, ff the hand"
typos
-"Investigation of a potential distal radial fracture includes assessment of the angle of the joint surface on lateral X-ray (volar/dorsal tilt), the loss of length of the radius from the collapse of the fracture (radial length), and congruency of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ)."
sentence too long perhaps?
-In treatment section may be useful to add sources more often after each sentence or two even if from the same source
-Need to add sources to examination, associated injuries, surgery, no surgery, epidemiology, and medical imaging sections. I think this is probably the most important thing. The sources that are there in the article seem to be appropriate ones.
