Colles Fracture Meaning The Colles fracture is a specific type of distal radius fracture. The reason it is called a Colles fracture is the surgeon who first described this injury pattern in the early 1800s. Dr. Abraham Colles was an Irish surgeon who described this injury and his name is still used today by many clinicians describing this injury pattern. When a patient sustains a Colles’ fracture, their wrist joint is pushed back behind the forearm bone (the radius)....

The U.S. is still recovering from the winter storm Elliott, which hit large parts of the country with freezing conditions and some blizzards, resulting in at least 62 deaths, from the end of last week. However, the inclement weather continued across Colorado, with Boulder County recording temperatures of 32 F at 8:45 p.m. local time on Wednesday, according to local newspaper The Daily Camera. On Thursday morning the Colorado Department of Transportation announced the Interstate 70 westbound was closed “between Exit 261 - US 6 / 6th Avenue and CO 470,” due to safety concerns, though it has since reopened....

Lee Cohen, a resident of Highlands Ranch, told Denver7 News: “My mom passed away two years ago and I received the stimulus check for her.” Cohen received the check in an envelope that listed him as his mother’s representative. “I couldn’t believe they sent it since my mom was deceased. I even filed a final tax return for her, so they have the data,” he said. He reportedly filed his mother’s final tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) earlier this year before the stimulus checks were sent out....

Four Republican candidates are battling for their party’s nomination in the newly created 8th congressional district in what many believe will be one of the most competitive general election races in the country. The 8th district’s population is 39 percent Hispanic—the largest Hispanic population of any Colorado district—and will prove a key test of Democratic support among that key voting demographic. The district also contains a plurality of unaffiliated voters with 44 percent of active registered voters neither Democrats nor Republicans, while 28 percent are registered Democrats and 25 percent are Republicans....

According to KDVR, Anita Hernandez, who is 96 years old, ended up under medical care after developing pneumonia, with family members saying to the local news outlet that they feared the worst. However, Hernandez beat the odds and was released back home yesterday under the care of her two daughters during her recovery from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus. One daughter, Pam Romero, explained to KDVR how tough the experience had been for the family, saying “it’s been an up-and-down ride....

Why now? PHOTOS: Pagano’s storied career | MORE: Irsay explains “careful consideration” If the future of the franchise, Chuck Pagano, Ryan Grigson, Andrew Luck and the entire roster can be decided in one cram session/sales pitch/airing of grievances a day after the roller-coaster regular season ended, why did owner Jim Irsay drag it out — and drag everybody in the organization through it? There’s a question running beneath that, too: What did Grigson say to not only get himself off the hook, but get himself an extension?...

The 24-year-old Pro Bowler on Thursday posted a video to his Instagram account in which he explained the incident. “Me, three other black guys and a mixed woman. We’re sitting there, just casually eating, away from everybody,” Leonard explained in the video. “Toward the end of our meal, the manager (walked) up. We’re not knowing why the manager’s walking up, come up with a terrible attitude, asking us do we have a problem....

So the coaching search that was almost universally expected after the 2015 and 2016 seasons can officially begin. It will begin with the uncertainty over Andrew Luck’s health, after the franchise quarterback missed the entire season. Colts owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard (who inherited Pagano before this season, his first), will likely include these names for consideration. Nick Saban, head coach, Alabama Irsay certainly is the type to roll the dice and take a shot at the gem of the college coaching candidate pool....

With an endless supply of receiving weapons, Andrew Luck could far outperform his draft slot and join the elite fantasy QBs. To that point, any of his receivers could also go big. And Coby Fleener could become a beast working with the tight end whisperer, Rob Chudzinski (but so could Dwayne Allen). Then there was a sign from the heavens – or more like central Indiana – with this tidbit from ESPN Colts reporter Mike Wells: I was picturing Pagano staring directly at Trent Richardson as he was saying that (and Richardson looking around with a puzzled look on his face before pointing to himself)....

Despite rushing only twice for minus-4 yards, Hines had two touchdown receptions of 22 and 29 yards, respectively, in the first half, helping Indianapolis to a 20-6 halftime lead. As impressive as those plays were, his acrobatic displays after the fact might have been even more incredible.

Carla Hochhalter was instantly dubbed “the 14th victim” of the Columbine shootings, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of victims, and they continue to suffer–from wounds, from grief, from depression and from each other’s jealousy and wrath. Fearful of another massacre, school administrators and police have imposed a policy of “zero tolerance” for threatening remarks. Some angry parents are suing, or threatening to sue, the authorities, and others are seeking religious meaning in the tragedy....

Foligno, 32, elbowed Avalanche forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in open ice during the second period of Columbus’ 4-2 loss, sending his opponent crashing to the ice. Bellemare left the game and has since been diagnosed with a concussion and has been placed in protocol. According to head coach Jared Bednar, Bellemare will make the Avalanche’s upcoming five-game road trip through Canada and Minnesota and is feeling better today. After the game, Foligno told reporters he “felt sick to [his] stomach” when he realized he hit Bellemare in the head....

In June 2016, Trump traveled to Scotland to visit his resort and golf course shortly after Britain had decided to leave the European Union. “Basically they took back their country,” the then-Republican presidential candidate said. Godley was among a group of protesters who welcomed the Republican candidate with profane and offensive signs. In a recent article published in The Times of London, the 60-year-old comedian claimed that she was banned from entering the U....

At the time when she walked on Brown University’s campus, Schuster knew it was where she was meant to spend her college years. It gave her a way out of a tough family situation, an opportunity to join a “club of thinkers,” and space to form her worldview. Since leaving the Providence, Rhode Island campus with her degree in hand, Schuster wrote multiple plays, worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, helped launch the hit series Key & Peele, and rose through the ranks to become vice president of development at Comedy Central....

That kind of smooth talk has made Robb into the most influential and charismatic Klansman since David Duke. In 1975, 15 years before he became a spoiler in Louisiana Republican politics by running for U.S. senator, Duke founded the Knights, a splinter group of the KKK. Duke wanted to recruit new “quality” members and to polish the Klan’s image, a cause his successor has embraced. An ordained Baptist minister, Robb shed his hooded robe for business suits and doesn’t shy away from the press or public....

Such victories have become especially important to the BBC these days. Since a radical policy rethink earlier in the decade, its bosses have become eager to stake out territory in new areas, especially cyberspace. Like every other global media player, the BBC is busily preparing for the coming age of downloadable entertainment on demand. Now a budget crunch has given the makeover added urgency. The solution: tap the full commercial potential of one of the world’s best-known brands....

He spoke on a number of topics, including allegations of sexual assault in the Blackhawks organization; he said the league only learned of the allegations against former Blackhawks coach Brad Aldrich recently. Citing it is a “matter of litigation,” he said the NHL would wait for the findings of the independent investigation but said that the league could assess punishment to individuals or the club. “All options are available if there’s something that warrants punishment,” he said....

Even together, these were not crushing blows to the Ramblers. They were defining, though. The only gauges the NCAA Tournament selection committee had by which to measure Loyola’s performance were those results; their games against chief Missouri Valley Conference rival Drake; their success in the 11th-ranked of 31 Division I leagues; and advanced metrics such as the NCAA Evaluation Tool, also known as the NET. None of this impacted Loyola’s selection to the tournament....
