Frykman classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Frykman classification system there are four types of fractures. [1]
Though the Frykman classification system has traditionally been used, there is little value in its use because it does not help direct treatment. The classification is as follows: [2]
Radius Fracture | Ulna Fracture | |
---|---|---|
Absent | Present | |
Extra articular | I | II |
Intra-articular involving radiocarpal joint | III | IV |
Intra articular involving distal radio-ulnar joint | V | VI |
Intra articular involving both radiocarpal & distal radioulnar joints | VII | VIII |
