What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the accuracy of how distal radius fractures are classified in a fracture database at the University Hospital Basel. This observational study aims to check the reliability and validity of fracture classifications done by medical staff during routine care by comparing them with expert assessments. The study supports quality assurance and improvement of fracture data since 2017 for surgically treated patients. An expert panel of three experienced specialists will reclassify selected distal radius fractures using anonymized radiological images stored in the REDCap fracture database. The study will analyze differences between the experts' classifications and those originally recorded in the database. This helps identify any discrepancies and improve training or data quality. Participants' data include demographic and treatment information along with quality radiographs taken before therapy. The study measures the number of discrepancies between expert and database classifications at a single baseline assessment. The research will continue through 2033, supporting ongoing quality management of fracture records without additional interventions or treatments for participants.
