  • Title: Fractures of the distal radius. A modern treatment-based classification.
    Author: Cooney WP.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1993 Apr; 24(2):211-6. PubMed ID: 8479719.
    Abstract:
    The classification of fractures is necessary to make a proper assessment of the injury and to recommend appropriate treatment. This article presents a treatment-based classification that assists in directing treatment. It is straight forward and easy to remember, yet has the potential for expansion to more detailed subclassifications as desired. Specific treatment planning can result from reference to this classification.
