A 61-year-old male presented to the emergency department with swelling, tenderness, and severe pain in his wrist after falling on an outstretched hand. On examination, he had swelling and a "dinner-fork" deformity of the wrist. X-rays showed a distal radius fracture. The fracture was reduced closed by an orthopedic resident and splinted. Distal radius fractures can be reduced in the emergency department if Colles or Smith fractures but Barton fractures require immediate orthopedic referral. Patients can be discharged if they have appropriate reduction, immobilization, follow-up arranged, and understand cast care instructions.
