About this trial
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 criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
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
Disqualifiers
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
Trial population
The health-related and personal data and all image material (X-rays) come from patients who were treated for surgical treatment of a distal radius fracture in the Clinic for Traumatology \& Orthopedics at the University Hospital Basel. The REDCap database has been a tool for quality assurance in patient care at the USB since November 2018. The medical staff records all relevant data on a daily basis and archives it under data protection guidelines.

Treatments tested in this trial
Data analysis: Accuracy measurement of the classifications of the distal radius fracture in the fracture database.
Other interventionAn 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.
