A Smith fracture is a distal radius fracture with volar displacement or angulation. This injury typically results from a fall on the dorsum of the hand with a flexed wrist. Reduction and reapproximation are essential and can be accomplished conservatively with casting if the fracture is nondisplaced and stable. However, heavy angulation or instability after closed reduction warrants an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). This activity outlines the definition, evaluation, and management of Smith fractures. The role of the healthcare team in managing this condition id discussed.
