Consistency of AO fracture classification for the distal radius.
We sought to quantify agreement by different assessors of the AO classification for distal fractures of the radius. Thirty radiographs of acute distal radial fractures were evaluated by 36 assessors of varying clinical experience. Our findings suggest that AO 'type' and the presence or absence of articular displacement are measured with high consistency when classification of distal radial frac...
متن کاملThe interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the Fernandez classification of distal radius fracture
Abstract Background: With increasing knowledge concerning fractures of the distal radius, different classifications have been proposed. Reliability of most of these classifications has been assessed. The Fernandez classification has never been assessed for intraobserver and interobserver reliability, although this classification is commonly used. Methods: Five observers including one attending...
متن کاملEconomic Analysis of Bisphosphonate Use after Distal Radius Fracture for Prevention of Hip Fracture
Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition among the elderly population, and is associated with an increased risk of fracture. One of the most common fragility fractures involve the distal radius, and are associated with risk of subsequent fragility fracture. Early treatment with bisphosphonates has been suggested to decrease the population hip fracture burden. However, there have been no p...
متن کاملInter- and intra-observer agreement of the AO classification for operatively treated distal radius fractures
The reproducibility of the AO classification for distal radius fractures remains a topic of debate. Previous studies showed variable reproducibility results. Important treatment decisions depend on correct classification, especially in comminuted, intra-articular fractures. Therefore, reliable reproducibility results need to be undisputedly determined. Hence, the study objective was to assess i...
