Lidström classification

Lidström classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Lidström classification system there are six types of fractures. The classification system is based on fracture line, direction and degree of displacement, extent of articular involvement and involvement of the distal radioulnar joint, and was first published in 1959.

Classification

  • Group 1: Minimal displacement
  • Group 2-A: Extra-articular, dorsal angulation
  • Group 2-B: Intra-articular, dorsal angulation, joint surface not comminuted
  • Group 2-C: Extra-articular, dorsal angulation and dorsal displacement
  • Group 2-D: Intra-articular, dorsal angulation and displacement, joint surface not comminuted
  • Group 2-F: Intra-articular, dorsal angulation and displacement, joint surface comminuted
gollark: Non-manual memory management also makes it easier to reason about code and not put `free`s everywhere.
gollark: Zig, but it's veeeery alpha.
gollark: Nim? Rust?
gollark: Even if we do end up actually switching stuff over to them in the next N years, there will be *so many* devices which don't get updated.
gollark: While there are quantum-cryptography-proof cryptographic schemes around, they're barely in the early stages of being standardized, not really deployed in any common protocols yet, not reviewed as thoroughly as existing primitives, and generally not very production-ready.
