Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. © 2009, Elsevier.
Chisel Fracture
An incomplete fracture of the head of the radius, in which the fracture line extends distally from the centre of the articular surface
Segen's Medical Dictionary.



With x-ray image:
Chisel Fracture.—A chisel fracture is a linear, incomplete fracture of the head of the radius and appears similar to the line a chisel makes when it is pounded into a piece of wood (22). The fracture line extends distally from the middle of the articular surface (Fig 9).
