In simple words: A displaced oblique fracture of the left radius means the larger bone in your left forearm is broken diagonally, and the pieces aren't lined up straight anymore.

A displaced oblique fracture of the shaft of the left radius refers to a break in the radius bone, located in the forearm on the thumb side, where the fracture line runs diagonally across the bone shaft. The term "displaced" signifies that the broken bone fragments are no longer aligned correctly.

Example 1: A 25-year-old male falls while skateboarding and sustains a displaced oblique fracture of the shaft of his left radius. The fracture is closed, and he is treated with a closed reduction and cast immobilization., A 45-year-old female is involved in a motor vehicle accident and presents with a displaced oblique fracture of the shaft of her left radius. The fracture is open, with the bone protruding through the skin. She requires surgical intervention for open reduction and internal fixation., A 65-year-old male falls at home and sustains a displaced oblique fracture of the shaft of his left radius. The fracture is closed and minimally displaced. He is treated with a splint and pain management.

Documentation should include the type of fracture (displaced oblique), laterality (left radius), the mechanism of injury, associated injuries, treatment provided, and any complications.
