Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the radiographic parameters and the relationship between the radiographic results and the clinical data.
We carried out a retrospective study analyzing the data of 225 pediatric patients with forearm fractures treated conservatively.
Two orthopaedists examined 4 different radiographic parameters.
They compared CI and radial translation parameters at T0, in terms of indication of type of treatment and predictive efficacy.
Afterwards, the two orthopaedists analyzed X-rays performed at T1, evaluating radiographic results according to radial shortening and angle parameters.
From the analysis of the CI measured by Observer 1, 135 patients out of 225 had retrospective indication to conservative treatment; the frequency of failure was 18/135 (13.3%).
Observer 2 indicated conservative treatment in 144 patients out of 225 and the proportion of failure was 21/144 (14.6%).
As regards the radial translation, Observer 1 reported a frequency of failure of 78/225 (34.7%) and Observer 2 reported 75/222 (33.8%).
Furthermore the authors detected a deficit of pronosupination for the patients considered to have failure according to radiographic results.
The authors defined the greater reliability of CI with respect to the radial translation parameter and the direct relationship between radiographic failure and clinical-functional data.
