[Compression/flexion fractures of the radius base (Smith fractures)].

Out of 416 Colles-fractures we observed 18 of the Smith-type. The Smith fracture is a rare injury, it will generally occur in consequence of a fall on the supinated hand which is forced in pronation. The dislocation of the carpus and peripheral fragment is in the volar and proximal direction. It should be treated operatively, especially in intraarticular fractures. Surgical treatment of patients will result in better movability of he wrist and intact distal joint surfaces.

The functioning of our anti-infectious regimen now working over a period of 7 years with 4 checks per year has been controlled. The wound infection rate came up to a percentage of 1.55. Blunders concerning chemical disinfection especially could be detected in spite of check-ups made every 3 months.
