Lidström Classification

	Lidström Classification Lidström classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Lidström classification system there are six types of fractures. The classification system is based on fracture line, direction and degree of displacement, extent of articular involvement and involvement of the distal radioulnar joint, and was first published in 1959. Classification * Group 1: Minimal displacement * Group 2-A: Extra-articular, dorsal angulation * Group 2-B: Intra-articular, dorsal angulation, joint surface not comminuted * Group 2-C: Extra-articular, dorsal angulation and dorsal displacement * Group 2-D: Intra-articular, dorsal angulation and displacement, joint surface not comminuted * Group 2-F: Intra-articular, dorsal angulation and displacement, joint surface comminuted See also * Frykman classification * Gartland & Werley classification Gartland & Werley classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures.

picture info	Colles' Fracture A Colles' fracture is a type of fracture of the distal forearm in which the broken end of the radius is bent backwards. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, deformity, and bruising. Complications may include damage to the median nerve. It typically occurs as a result of a fall on an outstretched hand. Risk factors include osteoporosis. The diagnosis may be confirmed via X-rays. The tip of the ulna may also be broken. Treatment may include casting or surgery. Surgical reduction and casting is possible in the majority of cases in people over the age of 50. Pain management can be achieved during the reduction with procedural sedation and analgesia or a hematoma block. A year or two may be required for healing to occur. About 15% of people have a Colles' fracture at some point in their life. They occur more commonly in young adults and older people than in children and middle-aged adults. Women are more frequently affected than men. The fracture is named after Abraham Colles w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Bone Fracture A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a ''comminuted fracture''. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. Signs and symptoms Although bone tissue contains no pain receptors, a bone fracture is painful for several reasons: * Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar discontinuity in endosteum, as both contain multiple pain receptors. * Edema and hematoma of nearby soft tissues caused by ruptured bone marrow evokes pressure pain. * Involuntary muscle spasms trying to hold bone fragments in place.

	Distal Radioulnar Joint The distal radioulnar articulation (also known as the distal radioulnar joint, or inferior radioulnar joint) is a synovial pivot joint between the two bones in the forearm; the radius and ulna. It is one of two joints between the radius and ulna, the other being the proximal radioulnar articulation. The joint features an articular disc, and is reinforced by the palmar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments. Structure The distal radioulnar articulation is formed by the head of ulna, and the ulnar notch of the distal radius. Articular disc The joint features a triangular articular disc that is attached to the inferior margin of the ulnar notch by its base, and to a fossa at the base of the styloid process of the ulna by its apex. The articular disc acts to firmly bind the distal extremities of the two bones together. Ligaments The articulation is reinforced by the palmar radioulnar ligament, and dorsal radioulnar ligament. Function The function of the radioulnar joint is to li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Frykman Classification Frykman classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Frykman classification system there are four types of fractures. Classification Though the Frykman classification system has traditionally been used, there is little value in its use because it does not help direct treatment. The classification is as follows: See also * Gartland & Werley classification Gartland & Werley classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures.

	Gartland & Werley Classification Gartland & Werley classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Gartland & Werley classification system there are three types of fractures. The classification system is based on metaphysical comminution, intra-articular extension and displacement, and was first published in 1951. Classification * Type 1: Extra-articular, displaced * Type 2: Intra-articular, no displacement * Type 3: Intra-articular, displaced See also * Frykman classification Frykman classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures.

	Nissen-Lie Classification Nissen-Lie classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Nissen-Lie classification system there are seven types of fractures. The classification system was first published in 1939. Classification * Type 1: A fracture at the junction of the shaft and distal extremity of the radius (occurs only in children between the age of 1 and 15 years, and is most commonly a greenstick fracture) * Type 2: Slipping of the epiphysis with dorsal displacement, often with a dorsally avulsed triangular fragment of the radius (occurs in the age range 10-20 years) * Type 3: Minimal displacement * Type 4: Dorsal angulation, extra-articular, no comminution * Type 5: Intra-articular, comminuted * Type 6: Fractures of the radial styloid * Type 7: Fractures with dorsal displacement See also * Frykman classification * Gartland & Werley classification Gartland & Werley classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures.

	Older's Classification Older's classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures, proposed in 1965. In the Older's classification system there are four types of fractures. Classification * Type 1: Dorsal angulation up to five degrees, radial length distal to ulna at least 7 mm. * Type 2: Dorsal angulation, radial length 1 to 7 mm, no comminution. * Type 3: Dorsal radius comminuted, radial length less than 4 mm, distal fragment slightly comminuted. * Type 4: Marked comminution, radial length usually negative.
