Summary
The primary goal of this research project is to measure the accuracy of the classifications of the distal radius fracture in the fracture database. The evaluation of the extracted data analyzes the validity of the fracture classifications that the medical staff carry out in everyday clinical practice. Endpoint of this project is the reclassification of the selected fractures by an in-house group of experts in order to be able to carry out a subsequent statistical evaluation. It is analyzed whether there are significant deviations between the classifications of the expert group and the fracture database.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- Patients at least 16 years of age and regardless of gender
- Surgical treatment of a primary fracture of the distal radius was performed
- Pre-therapeutic radiographs of good quality and in two planes
- General consent for quality assurance and research was not rejected
Exclusion Criteria8
- Existence of a documented refusal
- Patients under the age of 16, as they are treated in the children's hospital
- Conservative treatment of the distal radius fracture
- Re-fracture after conservative or surgical treatment
- Incorrect planes and poor quality of X-rays
- Exclusive performance of a computed tomography, e.g. after polytrauma
- Duplicates within the database
- X-rays with forearm cast

Interventions
An expert panel (3 in-house experienced specialists) carries out a new fracture classification based on the anonymous radiological images in the interface of the REDCap fracture database. The degree of discrepancy between the expert panel and the database in fracture classifications is analyzed. By evaluating the extracted data, it is analyzed how valid the quality of the collected fracture classifications are, which the medical staff carry out in everyday clinical practice.
