On July 14, 1998, while riding a bicycle along the Elbow River in Calgary, Alberta, I fell and fractured my left arm. Before long, I was in the capable care of the Canadian Health Care System.

• Here is an X-ray of the fracture. It distinctly shows the broken left radius. Not easily visible is a fracture of the distal ulnar styloid, a common cofactor in these kinds of injuries.
• Here is an X-ray of the arm after insertion of a plate to stabilize the bone while it heals.
• It turns out that this type of fracture is a classic and even has a name: Galeazzi's Fracture. For an excellent discussion of Galeazi's Fracture, see Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics.
