==Overview==
A '''Barton's fracture''' is an intra-articular [[bone fracture|fracture]] of the [[distal radius]] with dislocation of the [[radiocarpal joint]].
 
There exist two types of Barton's fracture - dorsal<ref>http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/dorsal_bartons_fracture_dorsal_shearing_frx</ref> and palmar, the latter being more common. The Barton's fracture is caused by a fall on an extended and [[pronated]] wrist increasing carpal compression force on the dorsal rim. Carpal displacement distinguishes this fracture from a [[Smith's fracture|Smith's]] or a [[Colles' fracture]]. 
Treatment of this fracture is usually done by open reduction and internal fixation with a plate and screws, but occasionally the fracture can be treated conservatively.
 
==Eponym==
It is named after John Rea Barton (1794-1871), an Irish surgeon who first described this in 1814.<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|synd|2821}}</ref><ref>J. R. Barton. Views and treatment of an important injury of the wrist. Medical Examiner, Philadelphia, 1838, 1: 365-368.</ref>
