AbstractDistal radius fractures are frequently seen in the emergency room. Scaphoid fractures are frequently seen as well. However, coincidental occurrence of these two types of fracture is quite rare. A 66-year-old healthy man was taken to the emergency room after a fall. He had pain in his right wrist, and an X-ray examination revealed a Colles' fracture with a 30 degree dorsal angulation and an undislocated transverse fracture of the scaphoid bone. The case illustrates that special attention should be given to the examination of the wrist and the first finger beam to exclude associated injuries.
