More common in women because of post-menopausal osteoporosis. History
The Colles fracture is named after Abraham Colles (1773–1843), an Irish surgeon, from Kilkenny who first described it in 1814 by simply looking at the classic deformity before the advent of X-rays. Ernest Amory Codman was the first to study it using X-rays. His article, published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, now known as The New England Journal of Medicine, also developed the classification system.It is sometimes said that Claude Pouteau was the first to describe the Colles fracture (which is sometimes called the Pouteau-Colles fracture), but, according to P. Liverneaux, it is not the case. See also
