Objetivos: Descrição do método de Classificação IDEAL - para as fraturas da extremidade distal do rádio. Keywords - Distal Radius Fractures Classification Systems Description Further studies are under development to support these properties. The evidence of its scientific plausibility will be settled with the assessment of the classification reliability and its capacity to aid in therapeutical decisions and as a tool to predict prognosis. Conclusion: IDEAL classification staging rationale was presented, which is based on the best available evidence. Group III - complex and instable fractures, poor outcome is expected. Prognosis depends on surgeons' success after method choice. Group I - Stable fractures, good prognosis Group II - potentially unstable fractures, commonly treated by surgical methods. For each feature a score is attributed for grouping purposes.

In this method, we classify the fracture in patients first consultation, in which we collect demographical (age and trauma energy) and radiographic characteristics ( fracture deviation, articular fracture, and associated lesions). Methods: IDEAL classification system is based on the most important literature evidences about clinical and radiographic characteristics that influence in the treatment and prognosis for patients that suffered from a distal radius fractures. It is interesting to note that the word chauffeur comes from the French for "someone who warms" the car engine.ABSTRACTObjectives: To describe the new IDEAL method from classifying distal radius fractures.
#Distal radius fracture classification driver#
It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driver fracture 1. Its other names derive from the typical occupation of people who sustained this injury due to direct trauma from starting a car with a crank. It was originally named by British surgeon Jonathan Hutchinson (1828-1913).
