Final answer:

The fracture displayed in the image is complete, dorsally displaced, overriding with deviated alignment, and associated with dislocation of the ulno-triquetrial joint. It can cause rough or jagged articulating surface, painful movements, and early development of arthritis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image description you provided indicates that the fracture displayed is complete, dorsally displaced, overriding with deviated alignment, associated with dislocation of the ulno-triquetrial joint.

When a fracture of the distal radius involves the joint surface of the radiocarpal joint of the wrist, it can cause problems such as rough or jagged articulating surface, painful movements, and early development of arthritis. Surgery may be required to return the joint surface to its original smoothness and restore normal function.
