*Inspect skin for signs of open fracture
===Imaging===
[[File:Radiograph_of_Barton's_fracture.jpg|thumb|Volar Barton's fracture]]
*PA
**Comminuted fracture of distal radial metaphysis
*Lateral

{{General Fracture Management}}

*Minimally displaced: [[sugar tong splint]] and ortho referral

==Disposition==
*Can be managed as outpatient

===Admit===
*[[Open fracture]]
*Signs of neurovascular injury
*Concern for [[compartment syndrome]]

===Specialty Care===
*Unstable requires ORIF
**>50% of radial articular surface
