Classification systems guide surgical planning. We reviewed the accuracy of interpreting plain radiographs to classify distal radius fractures.
Pre-operative radiographs of 24 consecutive distal radius fractures were classified using Frykman and AO methods. Classification was repeated intra-operatively under direct vision for comparison.
Mean age of the patients was 51 years. Pre-operative Frykman scores and AO grades were underestimated, compared with intra-operative visual classification (p < 0.001). One over-estimate occurred, while only 3 of 24 cases were classified correctly pre-operatively.
Sensitivity of radiographs to classify Frykman or AO grades was 12.5%, indicating interpretation using plain radiographs alone is often inadequate.
分类系统指导手术规划。我们回顾了通过解读X线平片对桡骨远端骨折进行分类的准确性。
对连续24例桡骨远端骨折的术前X线片采用弗赖克曼(Frykman)和AO方法进行分类。术中在直视下重复分类以作比较。
患者的平均年龄为51岁。与术中视觉分类相比,术前弗赖克曼评分和AO分级被低估(p < 0.001)。出现1例假阳性,术前24例中仅3例分类正确。
X线片对弗赖克曼或AO分级进行分类的敏感度为12.5%,表明仅使用X线平片进行解读往往是不够的。
