Deformity, tenderness and loss of wrist motion are normal features on examination of a patient with a distal radius fracture. Swelling is common. Broadening of the wrist can be perceived.

Physical Examination
Deformity, tenderness and loss of wrist motion are normal features on examination of a patient with a distal radius fracture. Swelling is common. Broadening of the wrist can be perceived. Radial styloid and ulnar styloid may be at the same level. Examination should rule out a skin wound which might suggest an open fracture, loss of sensation or loss of circulation to the hand.
