Fracture Distal Ulnar Fracture:
Absent Present
Extra articular I II
Intra articular involving radiocarpal joint III IV
Intra articular involving distal
RU joint V VI
Intra articular involving both radiocarpal & VI VIII
distal radioulnar joints
- Discussion:
- Frykman classification considers involvement of radiocarpal &
RU joint, in addition to presnce or absence of frx of
ulnar styloid process;
- classification does not include extent or direction of initial displacement, dorsal comminution, or
shortening of the distal fragment;
- hence, it is less useful in evaluating outcome of treatment
Fracture of the distal radius including sequelae--shoulder-hand-finger syndrome, disturbance in the distal radio-ulnar joint and impairment of nerve function. A clinical and experimental study.
