Abraham Colles (1773-1843) was a pioneering Irish surgeon whose contributions significantly advanced the fields of anatomy and surgery. Best known for describing the "Colles' fracture" of the distal radius, Colles' meticulous clinical observations and innovative treatment methods remain influential in modern orthopaedic practice. Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, Colles pursued medical education at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Edinburgh before training in London under the renowned surgeon Astley Cooper.

Background: Closed reduction and a closed cast are common treatments for patients with acute distal radius fractures in the emergency room. Many of the common analgesic techniques such as hematoma block may not be effective, which can hinder the stabilization and reduction of fractures.
Case Report: An 81-year-old woman who had a Colle's fracture (metaphyseal fracture with dorsal angulation) of the left distal radius arrived at the emergency room.

Background: Older people less frequently receive invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for NSTEMI than younger patients. We describe care, ICA data, and in-hospital and 30-day outcomes of NSTEMI by age in a contemporary and geographically diverse cohort.
Methods: Prospective cohort study including 2947 patients with NSTEMI from 287 centres in 59 countries, stratified by age (≥75 years, n = 761).

Introduction: The distal end radius fracture represents a prevalent orthopedic condition that affects individuals across various age groups, commonly resulting from falls onto outstretched hands. Ongoing research endeavors have delved into diverse methodologies for addressing this condition, encompassing conservative and operative modalities, yielding variable outcomes. While the literature extensively delineates numerous mobilization approaches, such as the functional position cast and Colle's cast, scant comparative studies evaluate these immobilization forms.
