Study of morphological distribution of Intra-articular fractures of distal-end Radius based on novel three column Classification system

Abstract

Introduction: Distal End Radius fractures are common across all age groups, with complex intra-articular fracture patterns challenging classification and treatment. Existing systems focus on aspects like metaphyseal comminution or biomechanical forces, but often overlook key anatomical columns involved in wrist load transmission. A novel three-column classification system can improve communication among surgeons and enhance treatment planning and outcomes. Objectives: To examine the morphological characteristics of distal radius fractures and assessing its consistency in clinical setting along-with comparing classification outcomes to existing standard systems
