Methods The imaging data and clinical data of 204 inpatients with distal radius fractures during 6 years from January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2019 in orthopaedic department were analyzed retrospectively and classified based on CT. Three observers evaluated the image data of 48 randomly selected cases based on CT at different time nodes of T1 and T2. Cohen's kappa was used to calculate the consistency. At the last follow-up, patients' Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Patient Rated Risk Evaluation (PRWE), and VAS scores were collected. Results Among 204 cases, there were 12 cases of type 1, including 6 cases of type 1-D, 4 cases of type 1-V and 2 cases of type 1-R. There were 6 cases of type 2, including 2 cases of type 2-DV, 2 cases of type 2-DR and 2 cases of type 2-VR. There were 186 cases of type 3, including 32 cases of type 3 − 0, 127 cases of type 3 − 1 and 27 cases of type 3 − 2. There was no significant difference in DASH, PRWE and VAS scores among all types (P > 0.05). The results of interobserver reproducibility were kappa = 0.985, ICC = 0.984 in the first evaluation, kappa = 0.986, ICC = 0.986 in the second evaluation. The results of intraobserver reproducibility were O1 = 0.991, O2 = 0.991, O3 = 0.989 respectively. Conclusions The new classification system of distal radius fracture based on CT has theoretical and practical significance for incision selection, fracture reduction and internal fixation. 123 classification system is clear, comprehensive, easy to understand and remember. Moreover, it has higher interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility than other systems reported at present. Distal radius Fracture Classification Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10 Figure 11 INTRODUCTION Fractures occurring at the distal end of the radius are seen frequently in emergency departments, representing approximately one-sixth of all fractures. Fracture classification is helpful to analyze the severity, guide the treatment and judge the prognosis. The four classifications of distal radius are widely recognized, including AO / OTA classification (proposed in 2007) [ 1 ], Frykman classification (1967 Proposed)[ 2 ], Fernández classification (proposed in 1991) [ 3 ], Universal classification (proposed in 1993)[ 4 ].Although the classifications are defined and described based on the different characteristics of each fracture, however, the severity of the fracture, post feature stability assessment, the prognosis judgment, and the guide of treatment cannot be adequately judged by these classifications. The ulnar styloid process was firstly included in the classification by Frykman without consideration of the fracture comminution, the fracture displacement, and the radial shortening. Therefore, this classification is not practical for the treatment guide and the clinical prognosis judgment. The advantage of the Fernández classification is high practicability, predicting the stability of the wrist joint and related soft tissue damage after injury. It provides a treatment basis and reasonable recommendations for adults and children with fractures. However, the classification is complicated and time-consuming due to determining the classification in conjunction with the injury mechanism. The Universal classification only distinguishes between extra-articular and intra-articular fractures, displaced and non-displaced fractures. Although the AO classification is relatively comprehensive and covers various distal radius fracture morphologies as the preferred classification system for the judgment of the severity of the post-injury condition, guiding the treatment and the retrospective evaluation of clinical treatment. The classification systems are detailed and complicated, which are limited in the clinical application. Numerous studies assess the observer-consistent results of the radial fracture classification system based on plain radiographs. Minority evaluation that the observer-consistent results of the AO / OTA type are entirely credible, the majority assesses that the observer consensus results for AO / OTA group, “Fernández," “Universal," which are moderately credible or below. Therefore, there is no golden standard or recommendation for the classification of distal radius fractures. The purpose of this study is to establish a new classification system for distal radius fractures based on CT and to evaluate its reliability and repeatability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient information A total of 419 inpatients were selected from the orthopedics department of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 1, 2014, to January 1, 2019. We collected a total of 419 inpatients information, and the study included 204 patients. There were 66 males and 138 females with an average age of 57.25±14 years (19–89 years). There were 114 cases on the left fracture and 90 cases on the right fracture. Surgeons did their examination firstly and evaluated the X-ray previously requested by the emergency team (physicians) and then they attempted closed reduction and applied a splint or cast and finally obtained a post reduction X-ray and CT, with a CT scan thickness of 5mm. At the last follow-up, patients' Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Patient Rated Risk Evaluation (PRWE), and VAS scores were collected. The minimum follow-up time is at least 1 year after injury. Inclusion criteria The age of patients ≥ 18 years. Exclusion criteria: (1) Fracture of bilateral distal radius; (2) Multiple injuries; multiple upper limb fractures on the same side; (3) Fractures were accompanied by related nerve and blood vessel damage; (4) The patient's ipsilateral limb muscle motor system disordered before the fracture occurred, which affected the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint disorders; (5) Patients suffered from wrist rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis or wrist osteoarthritis before the injury; (6) previous anterior wrist surgery; (7) Alzheimer's disease or other cognitive or mental disorders; (8) Open fracture; (9) Incomplete imageology data; (10) Patients refused to follow up. Classification introduction Point o was the midpoint of the longitudinal boundary between the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa; point a was the midpoint of the radial margin of the scaphoid fossa; With the o point as the starting point, the line along the junction of the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa, which was linked to the palmar margin as oc. The three lines oa, ob, oc divided the distal radial articular surface into three parts, namely the dorsal part -D, the palmar part -V, and the radial part -R. A part of the articular surface and cortex was separated from the radial shaft, which was defined as a fracture. Based on three parts, we divided the distal radius fracture into three types: single-part fracture (type 1), two-part fracture (type 2), and three-part fracture (type 3), namely type 1, 2, and 3. A single-part fracture can be D, V, or R. The single-part fracture represented the same meaning as the Arabic numerals “1”, which used the Arabic numerals "1"- type 1. The two-part fracture was D + V, D + R or V + R. The two-part fracture represented the same meaning as the Arabic numerals “2”, which used the Arabic numerals "2"- type 2. The three-part fracture involved D, V, and R at the same time. The three-part fracture represented the same meaning as the Arabic numerals “3”, which used the Arabic numerals "3"- type 3. In order to quickly understanding and memory, 123 classification were abbreviated. Type 1 included three subtypes of 1-D, 1-V, and 1-R; type 2 included three subtypes of 2-DV, 2-DR, and 2-VR, and type 3 included three subtypes of 3 − 0, 3 − 1, and 3 − 2. Three subtypes of type 1: 1-D: dorsal part fracture, 1-V: palmaris part fracture, 1-R: radialis part fracture. Three subtypes of type 2: 2-DV: dorsal part + palmaris part fracture, 2-DR: dorsal part + radialis part fracture, 2-DV: palmaris portion + radialis portion fracture. Type 3 was a three-part fracture; the three-part bone cortex was separated from the radial shaft cortex. According to the radialis sigmoid fracture line, it was divided into three subtypes: 3 − 0: complete radialis sigmoid notch, 3 − 1: 1 fracture line involved to the sigmoid notch, 3 − 2: ≥ 2 fracture lines involved to the sigmoid notch (Fig. 1 ). Observer Consistency Assessment Three physicians were selected as observers, one orthopedic resident O1 with two years of work experience, one orthopedic physician O2 with ten years of work experience, and one orthopedic deputy chief physician O3 with 25 years of work experience. The annual operation volume was more than 300 cases. Although the increase of the number of observers and included observation samples can make the evaluation results more accurate, the enlargement of included observation samples affected the accuracy of the evaluation results. Three doctors were included as observers as the previous study[ 5 – 7 ]. Three observers at the two different time points T1 and T2 used 123 typing in order to evaluate the randomly selected 48 case imageology data according to the random number table method. The evaluation interval was at least three weeks. T1 node: 3 observers were classified based on the DR and CT of the orthopedic wrist joint preoperatively according to the 123 classification system. T2 node: Three observers reclassified the anterior and lateral wrist joints DR and CT according to the 123 classification system before surgery. The image data of all patients were hidden, and the order of the image data of each case at each of the four nodes was randomized. Because it was a new type, the three observers studied and discussed together before the evaluation. Each time the observer types, another person was dedicated to recording. Statistical analyses All data processing in this study was analyzed by R language software. Quantitative data were described using X ± S, and qualitative data were described using percentages. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to compare the DASH, PRWE, and VAS scores between different types. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Cohen's kappa was used to calculate consistency. Cohen's kappa can be used to determine the consistency between two or more observers. RESULTS From January 1, 2014, to June 31, 2018, 419 inpatients information were collected according to inclusion and exclusion. 5 patients were treated with external fixation, 11 patients were treated with distal radius fractures, one patient was dementia, two patients were multiple injuries, and 1patient was open fracture. There were old fractures of the distal radius in 4 cases. Ten cases were bilateral distal radius fractures, 10 cases were with multiple fractures of the ipsilateral limb,145 cases were with incomplete imageology data, and 19 cases lost to follow-up (3 of them died). Finally, 204 patients were included in the study. The general characteristics of the patients were shown in Table 1 . Different classification results were shown in Table 2 .

The particular biomechanical function was in each portion corresponding to the injury mechanism ( Table 5 ). Table 5 123 classification description of CT-based distal radius fractures Type Range 123 Type Characteristic Injury mechanism Surgical approach Fixed form Single part fracture A D 1-D Fracture of the dorsal facet of the cranial fossa or combined with the dorsal facet of the navicular fossa. The articular surface and dorsal cortex cause syntripsis and subluxation or dislocation of the wrist. Dorsiflexion Dorsal Dorsal plate V 1-V Shear fractures of the volar articular surface of the cranial fossa, most of which are intact. subluxation or dislocation of the wrist is prone to cause. Palmar flexion Plamaris Buttress plate R 1-R Radial styloid process shifts distally and ulnaris by avulsion violence; radial + stylus process shifts proximally and rotationally by bending + compression violence. Tear off or bend + compress Radialis Radial styloid plate and screw Two-part fracture B D + V 2-DV The lunar bone hits the lunar fossa, and the lunare articular surface is separated, and the fracture line passes through the sigmoid notch. Reconstruction of the sigmoid notch and check of TFCC stability are needed during the operation. Axial direction Palmaris Palmaris plate D + R 2-DR Radial styloid process + dorsal articular surface of scaphoid fossa or (and) dorsal articular surface of lunare fossa Dorsiflexion + radial deviation Palmaris or dorsal part Palmaris plate or dorsal plate + radial plate V + R 2-VR Radial styloid process + fracture of the volar articular surface of the lunar fossa Palmar + the axial violence Palmaris Palmaris plate Single dorsal part fracture (1-D): Separate dorsal part fracture was not common in type 1. It was 2-DV type fracture that the fracture involved both the dorsal and palmaris parts. It was a 2-DR type fracture that the fracture involved both the dorsal and radialis parts. Separate dorsal part fracture (type 1-D) was characterized by a dorsal fracture of the cranial fossa articular surface or combined with a fracture of the dorsal articular surface of the scaphoid fossa. The articular surface and dorsal cortex were comminuted fractures. It was prone to cause subluxation or dislocation of the wrist. The mechanism was wrist dorsiflexion injury, and the only surgical approach was the dorsal approach with the dorsal plate fixation. Poor restoration and fixation of the dorsal column fracture resulted in malunion, which eventually caused a decrease in the anatomical compatibility of the radialis wrist joint and a malunion of the radial sigmoid notch. (Fig. 2 ) Single palmaris part fracture (1-V): The fracture was characterized by a shear fracture of the palmaris articular surface of the cranial fossa. Because the palmaris cortex was strong and thick, the palmaris cortex was mostly intact and rarely comminuted. Due to the tension of the stable radial wrist ligament, it can cause subluxation or dislocation of the wrist joint[ 8 ]. The mechanism was wrist palmar flexion injury. The only surgical approach for restoration and fixation was the palmar approach. The palmar support plate was selected for fixation. Especially when the palmaris columnar bone was small, it was necessary to pay attention to the stable fixation of the fracture block to avoid secondary displacement, which may lead to subluxation of the proximal carpal bone. (Fig. 3 ) Single fracture of the radial part (1-R): The radial part was composed of the radial styloid process and the palmaris hem of the scaphoid fossa. A tough radial wrist ligament was attached around these structures. These structures ensured the flexible movement of the wrist with stability. The fracture was characterized by avulsion violence, causing the radial styloid process to shift to distal and ulnaris sides; While bending + compression violence was the leading cause, radial styloid process was shifted to intact side and rotation displacement due to the pull of the brachioradialis muscle. Steps appear in radiocarpal joints. The injury mechanism is avulsion or bending + compression violence. The only surgical approach for reduction and fixation is the radialis approach. The processus styloideus radii plate or screw was selected for fixation. (Fig. 4 ). Dorsal part + palmaris part (2-DV): The fracture was characterized by the separation of the lunar bone articular surface caused by the collision of the lunar bone with the lunar bone fossa, and the fracture line involved the sigmoid notch. Reconstruction of the sigmoid notch and check of TFCC stability was necessary during the operation. The injury mechanism was the axial violence of the lunar bone striking the lunar fossa. The surgical approach for reduction and fixation was the palmaris approach, and the palmaris plate was selected for fixation. There was a rotation deformity of the palmaris part and the dorsal part on the deformed surface; it was often the counterclockwise rotation of the palmar part and the clockwise rotation of the dorsal part, which led to the narrowing of the joint surface of the radial wrist joint. Part of the flexion function was lost; it was necessary to correct the rotational deformity during surgery[ 9 , 10 ] (9, 10) (Fig. 5 ). Dorsal part + radial part (2-DR): The fracture was characterized by processus styloideus radii + the dorsal part of the scaphoid fossa or (and) the dorsal part of the lunar fossa. The injury mechanism was wrist palmar flexion injury; the incision was the palmar or dorsal approach, palmar support steel plate or dorsal + radial steel plate was selected for fixation. While the dorsal approach was used for fixation, the ulnar side of the Lister tubercle was separated, the third fascial sheath was exposed, and the fractured end was exposed. A steel plate was placed on the ulnar side of the Lister tubercle and screwed. Another plate was placed on the radialis side of the Lister tubercle. (Fig. 6 ). Palmaris part + radialis part (2-VR): characterized by radial styloid process + volar part fracture. The injury mechanism was wrist flexion injury. The surgical approach for reduction and fixation was the palmar approach. The palmar support plate was selected for fixation. (Fig. 7 ). Dorsal part + palmaris part + radial part (type 3): The fracture was characterized by three parts of the cortex separated from the radial shaft cortex, with varying degrees of bone loss. It was divided into three subtypes according to the radialis sigmoid fracture line. Subtypes: 3 − 0: complete radialis sigmoid notch, 3 − 1: 1 fracture line involving sigmoid notch, 3 − 2: ≥ 2 fracture lines involving sigmoid notch. The injury mechanism was bending or axial violence. 3 − 0 was an extra-articular fracture, the reduction and fixed incision of 3 − 1, 3 − 2 type was palmaris approach, supplemented by a dorsal approach when it was necessary. It was first considered about placing the steel plate on the palmaris about fixation. It was combined with the dorsal steel plate to assist in fixing as occasion required. (Fig. 8 – 10 ). DISCUSSION In this study, the distal radius fractures were divided into three types: 1, 2, and 3, based on CT. Each type was divided into three subtypes. The patients included in our hospital were followed up. There was no significant statistical difference in each type of DASH, PRWE, and VAS scores. The main reasons were as followed. First, it was a selection bias of the included patients. This study included inpatients for inpatient surgery without including outpatient conservative treatment. Some inpatient data were inadequate. Second, the wrist joint was a functional joint rather than a weight-bearing joint. There was little impact on the patient's daily functional requirements about the loss of the smaller range of the wrist joint. Therefore, the DASH, PRWE scores were low, which reflected the subjective functional outcome of a patient. However, the observer consistency evaluation results of the new typing system were more significant than 0.9, and according to the Landis and Koch standards, they were utterly credible. Moreover, the intra-observer repeatability results of the 123 classification were unrelated to the observer's experience. Requirements for an ideal classification system A practical and widely accepted classification was characterized by the following characteristics: 1. Better observer-consistent results. 2. Characteristics of fractures can be accurately understood and described, the fracture injury mechanism can be reproduced, preoperative plans were formulated, treatment guidance was provided, and possible complications were accurately judged for clinicians. Moreover, it can be used as a credible “common language” for clinicians in different countries and regions. 3. It was comprehensive and easy to remember. Based on the above characteristics and requirements, we established an ideal 123 classification of CT-based distal radius fractures. Insufficient research on current conventional classification systems At present, the observer-consistent results of the AO / OTA classification were entirely credible or basically credible in individual studies[ 11 ]. The majority of studies reported observations of AO / OTA group, Frykman type, Fernández type, and Universal type were moderately reliable or below[ 6 , 7 , 12 – 21 ]. All the above classifications were based on ordinary understandable film classification. The number and shape of fracture lines in the joint and the direction of fracture block displacement were diagnosed by CT. It was helpful to the classification understanding and a surgical plan. However, was it possible to improve observer-consistent results? At present, there were only two studies on whether the increase of CT examination can improve the observer consensus results of AO / OTA typing, Frykman typing, Fernández typing, and Universal typing [ 22 , 23 ]. The results of both studies were different. In 2014, research by Arealis and others indicated that adding CT examinations can help senior doctors to formulate treatment plans, but it cannot improve the observer-consistent results of AO / OTA, Fernández, and Universal classification[ 22 ]. In 2017, Kleinlugtenbelt et al. reported that except Frykman typing, the addition of CT + 2D examination could improve the repeatability within the observer of AO / OTA classification, Fernández typing, and Universal classification than using plain X-ray films alone, and it cannot improve all Inter-observer reliability of classification[ 23 ]. Our study found that adding CT + 2D examination did not improve observer-consistent results for Frykman classification, Fernández classification, and Universal classification. However, a noticeable improvement was in the observer consensus results of AO / OTA classification and AO / OTA grouping. Recent Research on New Typing System for Distal Radius In view of the low reproducibility of the classification of distal radius fractures, Bellott et al. proposed an IDEAL classification method based on epidemiological and imaging factors[ 24 ]. According to the patient's age, epidemiological factors of trauma energy, degree of bone mass displacement, joint integrity, and imageology factors with injuries, scores were classified. A score of 0–1 was a stable fracture, and conservative treatment was adopted. A score of 2–3 was a potentially unstable fracture and K-needle, external fixation or internal fixation was used. A score of 4–5 was a complex fracture that required multiple methods and bone grafting[ 24 ]. Kapppa between observers of IDEAL classification = 0.595, and Kapppa within observers = 0.771. Yi Lu et al. described a morphological typing and grading system specifically for Barton fractures[ 25 ]. It was divided into four types by the research team: classic Bartong fracture, ulnar Bartong fracture, radialis Bartong fracture, comminuted Bartong fracture, and the inter-observer reliability and intra-observer repeatability scores were 0.71–0.80 and 0.68–0.88 [ 25 ]. A majority of literature pays attention to the radialis wrist joint, while the distal radioulnar joint was ignored. Frykman's study indicated that the fracture line involved the inferior ulnar radial joint in 19% of cases[ 2 ]. Malunion of the distal radioulnar and weak line of force can lead to chronic pain and weaken of the wrist. Jupiter et al. found that distal radioulnar joint mismatch gradually developed arthritis, with varying degrees of wrist pain in 33% of patients[ 26 ]. Later, some scholars were classified according to the situation of sigmoid notch. Rozental et al. included imaging data of 20 intra-articular fractures. 13 (65%) intra-articular fracture lines extended to the sigmoid notch in CT data[ 27 ]. By the sigmoid notch image data analyzation, all cases were divided into three types, type 1 was the complete sigmoid notch, type 2 was fracture line involving sigmoid notch but no displacement, and type 3 was fracture line involving B The notch is shifted. Nakanishi et al. classified intra-articular fractures of the distal radius into type 3 and 5 subtypes based on the number of fracture lines involving the sigmoid notch and the degree of displacement of the fractured mass[ 28 ]. Their study found that sigmoid fractures were presented in 83% of cases of intra-articular fractures and that sigmoid fractures were comminuted in 34%[ 28 ]. The application of 3D-CT provided accurate judgment of the sigmoid notch damage and a basis for surgical strategy. Hintringer et al. combined the biomechanical foundation of the distal radius, a new classification based on CT has been proposed[ 29 ]. Theoretical basis and a basis for the 123 classification system The theoretical basis for the establishment of the 123 classification system is based on the characteristics of the fracture line of the articular surface of the distal radius fracture, the bone ligament unit theory, the three-column classification of Rikli and Regazzoni[ 30 ] and the four-part classification of Melone and many other theoretical studies[ 31 , 32 ]. There are many ligament attachment points around the articular surface of the distal radius, and the fracture line often occurs between the ligament attachment areas with a certain regularity. Increasing evidence suggests that even if the distal radial articular surface was a comminuted fracture, the ligament attachment points around the articular surface remain intact [ 33 , 34 ]. It is reproducible about the distribution of articular surface fracture lines in the distal radius[ 35 , 36 ]. In 2011 and 2013, Gregory's team successively studied the relationship between the attachment of the ligament around the distal radius and the position of intra-articular fractures [ 35 ]. In this study, the periphery of the distal radius was divided into 11 regions (Fig. 11 ). The following regions are easily affected: the familiar site of the fracture was in the center of the sigmoid notch (inter-ligamentary region 10), the short radiolunate ligament, SRL), long radiolunate ligament (LRL) (ligament area 2), the dorsal center of the scaphoid fossa (ligament area 6), LRL (ligamentous area 3), and ulnar side of the dorsal scaphoid fossa ( Ligament area 7). The following areas are less involved: dorsal ulnar radial ligament attachment (ligament area 9), palmaris ulnar radialis ligament attachment (ligament area 11), SRL attachment (ligament area 1), radialis scaphoid ligament attachment (ligament area) 4), the radialis the scaphoid fossa (ligament area 5), and the dorsal radiaisl wrist ligament attachment (ligament area 8)[ 35 ]. Fractures are more likely to occur in areas 2, 6, 10 than other areas, and there are significant statistical differences. Some scholars carried out atlas analysis of 40 cases of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, and found that the characteristics of the horizontally oriented fracture line, which are the fracture line started from the base of the radial styloid process and extends horizontally along the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa to the sigmoid Trace middle[ 32 ]. The three-column typing theory of Rikli and Regazzoni emphasizes the importance of the intermediolateral column. It consists of sigmoid notches and lunar fossa. When the wrist joint is under axial stress, the intermediate column load is higher than 50% of the axial pressure[ 30 ]. At the 0 ° position of the wrist joint, the matching area of the sigmoid notch and the ulnar head's articular surface is the largest. When the forearm is pronated or supinated, the matching area of the two decreases. At the junction of the sigmoid notch of the triangular fibrocartilage origin and the lunar fossa, the stops are widely attached to the triangular bone, the hook bone, etc., forming a stable structure of the lower ulnar radius and the ulnar side of the carpal bone[ 27 ]. If the fracture line involves the sigmoid notch, the distal radioulnar joint will be damaged, which changes the biomechanics and movement trajectory of the wrist and forearm. Post-traumatic sigmoid notch healing due to steps or gaps may cause wrist pain, instability, or loss of range of motion[ 28 ]. Therefore, it is particularly important to emphasize the reduction of the intermediolateral column. Among them, restoring the anatomical structure of the Distal radioulnar joint, especially the anatomical reduction of the sigmoid notch, is very important. Melone focuses on and supplements the classification of the carpal surface of the distal radius. This classification emphasizes the importance of lunar fossa and its clinical prognosis, and include the formation mechanism of die-punch fractures analyzation. This classification benefits to identify surgical indications for intra-articular fractures and guide of intraoperative reduction and fixation, but it is useless in classifying extra-articular fractures. It is difficult to judge the four characteristic fracture blocks of the distal radius and the die-punch bone blocks based on X-rays alone without extensive experience. There is no satisfactory result on the observer consistency study of Melone typing. Melone classification includes five types based on the dorsal medial bone mass on the articular surface, the medial volar bone mass, the radial styloid bone mass, and the radial shaft. There may be some differences and variations in the four parts of the articular surface of the distal radius according to our judgment, in which the dorsal part of the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa are collectively summarized in the dorsal part of the 123 classification. Based on many studies on the characteristics of the fracture of the radial surface of the articular surface and the fracture of the articular surface, this study found that the dorsal part of the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa could be damaged at the same time due to the back extension of the wrist, was also verified in the analysis of patient imageology data [ 32 – 35 ]. Significance of 123 classification system for incision selection, reduction, and fixation Because there is a stable radial wrist ligament between the lunar bone and the palamris or dorsal part, subluxation of the wrist joint is in 1-D and 1-V fracture. In this case, it should be fixed firmly by surgery. For 1-D fractures, the dorsal approach is preferred for reduction and fixation. If Henry approach is chosen, it will not only increase the difficulty of restoration but also may result in poor restoration and fixation strength due to failure to reset, particularly in lateral collapse. The dorsal approach uses a straight incision between the third and fourth extensor compartments, placing the steel plate in the fourth extensor compartment. Similarly, 1-V fracture require a palmaris approach for reduction and fixation. If a dorsal approach is chosen, it will not only increase the difficulty of reduction but may also lead to poor restoration. When the palmaris part and the dorsal part are involved at the same time, the palmar approach is preferred for reset. For cases where the dorsal part cannot be reset through the palmar approach, a dorsal approach can be selected to assist in reset. Rikli et al. confirmed in vitro studies that during regular wrist movements, the lunare fossa and radial sigmoid notch were subjected to > 50% axial pressure[ 37 ]. The level of CT can be used to intuitively and accurately determine the number of fracture lines passing through the lunare fossa. When the fracture line of the radial sigmoid notch passes, the radial sigmoid notch should be reduced and fixed first to avoid the abnormal healing of the radial sigmoid notch. While restoring the anatomical restoration and stable fixation of the sigmoid notch, it is necessary to take into account the stable fixation of the palmar and dorsal columns to avoid secondary displacement caused by a weak reset or poor fixation of the palmaris or dorsal columns. A slight subluxation of the near-wrist carpal bones, thereby ensuring the restoration of the kinematics of the wrist joints. Taken together, there are theoretically and practically significant for selecting incisions, guiding the reduction of the fracture block, and placing the steel plate about judging the damage of the three parts by correctly understanding the fracture type and the displacement direction of the fracture block by visually analyzing the three planes of the CT. Advantages and disadvantages of the 123 classification system This study is a retrospective study. All the included cases originated from inpatients, severe fractures in many patients. It is inevitable on case selection bias and statistical bias. Besides, the number of cases of some types is small due to incomplete image data of some patients, and the included research subjects are mainly inpatients; of course, some types may indeed be due to the small number of cases in the clinic, further verification is necessary. The larger sample size is necessary for practice and validation in the future. At the same time, more retrospective and prospective studies are necessary to verify the effectiveness of the 123 classification system in order to help better the surgeon understand the type of fracture in clinical work, and then formulate a surgical plan to obtain the desired results and judge the prognosis. Moreover, no control group treated non-operatively exists, constitutes another weakness of this study. Last, we could not exclude residual confounding by unmeasured or unknown confounders. However, the CT-based 123 typing system provides a new classification idea. Based on the advantages of CT classification, the number of fracture lines, and the direction of bone mass displacement can be intuitively judged, which has a unique advantage for understanding fracture types and making surgical plans. At the same time, it benefits to improve the accuracy of typing, so it has better observer consistency. Besides, the 123 typing system is comprehensive and easy to remember. Of course, the traditional and conventional X-ray examinations cannot be replaced, and have certain reference functions for CT typing. Conclusion The new classification system of distal radius fracture based on CT has theoretical and practical significance for selecting incision, guiding fracture block reduction and internal fixation. 123 classification system has clear classification, comprehensive coverage, easy to understand and remember. In addition, compared with other reported systems, it has ideal observer consistency results.

Fracture classification is helpful to analyze the severity, guide the treatment and judge the prognosis. The four classifications of distal radius are widely recognized, including AO / OTA classification (proposed in 2007) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e], Frykman classification (1967 Proposed)[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e], Fern\u0026aacute;ndez classification (proposed in 1991) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e], Universal classification (proposed in 1993)[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e].Although the classifications are defined and described based on the different characteristics of each fracture, however, the severity of the fracture, post feature stability assessment, the prognosis judgment, and the guide of treatment cannot be adequately judged by these classifications.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ulnar styloid process was firstly included in the classification by Frykman without consideration of the fracture comminution, the fracture displacement, and the radial shortening. Therefore, this classification is not practical for the treatment guide and the clinical prognosis judgment. The advantage of the Fern\u0026aacute;ndez classification is high practicability, predicting the stability of the wrist joint and related soft tissue damage after injury. It provides a treatment basis and reasonable recommendations for adults and children with fractures. However, the classification is complicated and time-consuming due to determining the classification in conjunction with the injury mechanism. The Universal classification only distinguishes between extra-articular and intra-articular fractures, displaced and non-displaced fractures. Although the AO classification is relatively comprehensive and covers various distal radius fracture morphologies as the preferred classification system for the judgment of the severity of the post-injury condition, guiding the treatment and the retrospective evaluation of clinical treatment. The classification systems are detailed and complicated, which are limited in the clinical application.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNumerous studies assess the observer-consistent results of the radial fracture classification system based on plain radiographs. Minority evaluation that the observer-consistent results of the AO / OTA type are entirely credible, the majority assesses that the observer consensus results for AO / OTA group, \u0026ldquo;Fern\u0026aacute;ndez,\" \u0026ldquo;Universal,\" which are moderately credible or below. Therefore, there is no golden standard or recommendation for the classification of distal radius fractures.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this study is to establish a new classification system for distal radius fractures based on CT and to evaluate its reliability and repeatability.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"MATERIALS AND METHODS","content":"\u003cdiv id=\"Sec3\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePatient information\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA total of 419 inpatients were selected from the orthopedics department of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 1, 2014, to January 1, 2019.

The three lines oa, ob, oc divided the distal radial articular surface into three parts, namely the dorsal part -D, the palmar part -V, and the radial part -R. A part of the articular surface and cortex was separated from the radial shaft, which was defined as a fracture. Based on three parts, we divided the distal radius fracture into three types: single-part fracture (type 1), two-part fracture (type 2), and three-part fracture (type 3), namely type 1, 2, and 3. A single-part fracture can be D, V, or R. The single-part fracture represented the same meaning as the Arabic numerals \u0026ldquo;1\u0026rdquo;, which used the Arabic numerals \"1\"- type 1. The two-part fracture was D\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;V, D\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;R or V\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;R. The two-part fracture represented the same meaning as the Arabic numerals \u0026ldquo;2\u0026rdquo;, which used the Arabic numerals \"2\"- type 2. The three-part fracture involved D, V, and R at the same time. The three-part fracture represented the same meaning as the Arabic numerals \u0026ldquo;3\u0026rdquo;, which used the Arabic numerals \"3\"- type 3. In order to quickly understanding and memory, 123 classification were abbreviated. Type 1 included three subtypes of 1-D, 1-V, and 1-R; type 2 included three subtypes of 2-DV, 2-DR, and 2-VR, and type 3 included three subtypes of 3\u0026thinsp;\u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;0, 3\u0026thinsp;\u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;1, and 3\u0026thinsp;\u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;2. Three subtypes of type 1: 1-D: dorsal part fracture, 1-V: palmaris part fracture, 1-R: radialis part fracture. Three subtypes of type 2: 2-DV: dorsal part\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;palmaris part fracture, 2-DR: dorsal part\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;radialis part fracture, 2-DV: palmaris portion\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;radialis portion fracture. Type 3 was a three-part fracture; the three-part bone cortex was separated from the radial shaft cortex.

The evaluation interval was at least three weeks. T1 node: 3 observers were classified based on the DR and CT of the orthopedic wrist joint preoperatively according to the 123 classification system. T2 node: Three observers reclassified the anterior and lateral wrist joints DR and CT according to the 123 classification system before surgery. The image data of all patients were hidden, and the order of the image data of each case at each of the four nodes was randomized.

It was 2-DV type fracture that the fracture involved both the dorsal and palmaris parts. It was a 2-DR type fracture that the fracture involved both the dorsal and radialis parts. Separate dorsal part fracture (type 1-D) was characterized by a dorsal fracture of the cranial fossa articular surface or combined with a fracture of the dorsal articular surface of the scaphoid fossa. The articular surface and dorsal cortex were comminuted fractures. It was prone to cause subluxation or dislocation of the wrist. The mechanism was wrist dorsiflexion injury, and the only surgical approach was the dorsal approach with the dorsal plate fixation. Poor restoration and fixation of the dorsal column fracture resulted in malunion, which eventually caused a decrease in the anatomical compatibility of the radialis wrist joint and a malunion of the radial sigmoid notch.

Because the palmaris cortex was strong and thick, the palmaris cortex was mostly intact and rarely comminuted. Due to the tension of the stable radial wrist ligament, it can cause subluxation or dislocation of the wrist joint[\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]. The mechanism was wrist palmar flexion injury. The only surgical approach for restoration and fixation was the palmar approach. The palmar support plate was selected for fixation. Especially when the palmaris columnar bone was small, it was necessary to pay attention to the stable fixation of the fracture block to avoid secondary displacement, which may lead to subluxation of the proximal carpal bone.

A tough radial wrist ligament was attached around these structures. These structures ensured the flexible movement of the wrist with stability. The fracture was characterized by avulsion violence, causing the radial styloid process to shift to distal and ulnaris sides; While bending\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;compression violence was the leading cause, radial styloid process was shifted to intact side and rotation displacement due to the pull of the brachioradialis muscle. Steps appear in radiocarpal joints. The injury mechanism is avulsion or bending\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;compression violence. The only surgical approach for reduction and fixation is the radialis approach. The processus styloideus radii plate or screw was selected for fixation.

Reconstruction of the sigmoid notch and check of TFCC stability was necessary during the operation. The injury mechanism was the axial violence of the lunar bone striking the lunar fossa. The surgical approach for reduction and fixation was the palmaris approach, and the palmaris plate was selected for fixation. There was a rotation deformity of the palmaris part and the dorsal part on the deformed surface; it was often the counterclockwise rotation of the palmar part and the clockwise rotation of the dorsal part, which led to the narrowing of the joint surface of the radial wrist joint. Part of the flexion function was lost; it was necessary to correct the rotational deformity during surgery[\u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e] (9, 10) (Fig. \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDorsal part\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;radial part (2-DR): The fracture was characterized by processus styloideus radii\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;the dorsal part of the scaphoid fossa or (and) the dorsal part of the lunar fossa.

Each type was divided into three subtypes. The patients included in our hospital were followed up. There was no significant statistical difference in each type of DASH, PRWE, and VAS scores. The main reasons were as followed. First, it was a selection bias of the included patients. This study included inpatients for inpatient surgery without including outpatient conservative treatment. Some inpatient data were inadequate. Second, the wrist joint was a functional joint rather than a weight-bearing joint. There was little impact on the patient's daily functional requirements about the loss of the smaller range of the wrist joint. Therefore, the DASH, PRWE scores were low, which reflected the subjective functional outcome of a patient. However, the observer consistency evaluation results of the new typing system were more significant than 0.9, and according to the Landis and Koch standards, they were utterly credible. Moreover, the intra-observer repeatability results of the 123 classification were unrelated to the observer's experience.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec12\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eRequirements for an ideal classification system\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA practical and widely accepted classification was characterized by the following characteristics: 1. Better observer-consistent results. 2. Characteristics of fractures can be accurately understood and described, the fracture injury mechanism can be reproduced, preoperative plans were formulated, treatment guidance was provided, and possible complications were accurately judged for clinicians. Moreover, it can be used as a credible \u0026ldquo;common language\u0026rdquo; for clinicians in different countries and regions. 3. It was comprehensive and easy to remember. Based on the above characteristics and requirements, we established an ideal 123 classification of CT-based distal radius fractures.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec13\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eInsufficient research on current conventional classification systems\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt present, the observer-consistent results of the AO / OTA classification were entirely credible or basically credible in individual studies[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e].

All the above classifications were based on ordinary understandable film classification. The number and shape of fracture lines in the joint and the direction of fracture block displacement were diagnosed by CT. It was helpful to the classification understanding and a surgical plan. However, was it possible to improve observer-consistent results? At present, there were only two studies on whether the increase of CT examination can improve the observer consensus results of AO / OTA typing, Frykman typing, Fern\u0026aacute;ndez typing, and Universal typing [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e]. The results of both studies were different. In 2014, research by Arealis and others indicated that adding CT examinations can help senior doctors to formulate treatment plans, but it cannot improve the observer-consistent results of AO / OTA, Fern\u0026aacute;ndez, and Universal classification[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e].

Our study found that adding CT\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;2D examination did not improve observer-consistent results for Frykman classification, Fern\u0026aacute;ndez classification, and Universal classification.

According to the patient's age, epidemiological factors of trauma energy, degree of bone mass displacement, joint integrity, and imageology factors with injuries, scores were classified. A score of 0\u0026ndash;1 was a stable fracture, and conservative treatment was adopted. A score of 2\u0026ndash;3 was a potentially unstable fracture and K-needle, external fixation or internal fixation was used. A score of 4\u0026ndash;5 was a complex fracture that required multiple methods and bone grafting[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e].

Yi Lu et al. described a morphological typing and grading system specifically for Barton fractures[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e]. It was divided into four types by the research team: classic Bartong fracture, ulnar Bartong fracture, radialis Bartong fracture, comminuted Bartong fracture, and the inter-observer reliability and intra-observer repeatability scores were 0.71\u0026ndash;0.80 and 0.68\u0026ndash;0.88 [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA majority of literature pays attention to the radialis wrist joint, while the distal radioulnar joint was ignored. Frykman's study indicated that the fracture line involved the inferior ulnar radial joint in 19% of cases[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]. Malunion of the distal radioulnar and weak line of force can lead to chronic pain and weaken of the wrist. Jupiter et al. found that distal radioulnar joint mismatch gradually developed arthritis, with varying degrees of wrist pain in 33% of patients[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR26\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e26\u003c/span\u003e]. Later, some scholars were classified according to the situation of sigmoid notch. Rozental et al. included imaging data of 20 intra-articular fractures. 13 (65%) intra-articular fracture lines extended to the sigmoid notch in CT data[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e]. By the sigmoid notch image data analyzation, all cases were divided into three types, type 1 was the complete sigmoid notch, type 2 was fracture line involving sigmoid notch but no displacement, and type 3 was fracture line involving B The notch is shifted. Nakanishi et al. classified intra-articular fractures of the distal radius into type 3 and 5 subtypes based on the number of fracture lines involving the sigmoid notch and the degree of displacement of the fractured mass[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. Their study found that sigmoid fractures were presented in 83% of cases of intra-articular fractures and that sigmoid fractures were comminuted in 34%[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. The application of 3D-CT provided accurate judgment of the sigmoid notch damage and a basis for surgical strategy. Hintringer et al. combined the biomechanical foundation of the distal radius, a new classification based on CT has been proposed[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec15\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTheoretical basis and a basis for the 123 classification system\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe theoretical basis for the establishment of the 123 classification system is based on the characteristics of the fracture line of the articular surface of the distal radius fracture, the bone ligament unit theory, the three-column classification of Rikli and Regazzoni[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e] and the four-part classification of Melone and many other theoretical studies[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are many ligament attachment points around the articular surface of the distal radius, and the fracture line often occurs between the ligament attachment areas with a certain regularity. Increasing evidence suggests that even if the distal radial articular surface was a comminuted fracture, the ligament attachment points around the articular surface remain intact [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e]. It is reproducible about the distribution of articular surface fracture lines in the distal radius[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e]. In 2011 and 2013, Gregory's team successively studied the relationship between the attachment of the ligament around the distal radius and the position of intra-articular fractures [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. In this study, the periphery of the distal radius was divided into 11 regions (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig21\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e). The following regions are easily affected: the familiar site of the fracture was in the center of the sigmoid notch (inter-ligamentary region 10), the short radiolunate ligament, SRL), long radiolunate ligament (LRL) (ligament area 2), the dorsal center of the scaphoid fossa (ligament area 6), LRL (ligamentous area 3), and ulnar side of the dorsal scaphoid fossa ( Ligament area 7). The following areas are less involved: dorsal ulnar radial ligament attachment (ligament area 9), palmaris ulnar radialis ligament attachment (ligament area 11), SRL attachment (ligament area 1), radialis scaphoid ligament attachment (ligament area) 4), the radialis the scaphoid fossa (ligament area 5), and the dorsal radiaisl wrist ligament attachment (ligament area 8)[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. Fractures are more likely to occur in areas 2, 6, 10 than other areas, and there are significant statistical differences. Some scholars carried out atlas analysis of 40 cases of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, and found that the characteristics of the horizontally oriented fracture line, which are the fracture line started from the base of the radial styloid process and extends horizontally along the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa to the sigmoid Trace middle[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe three-column typing theory of Rikli and Regazzoni emphasizes the importance of the intermediolateral column. It consists of sigmoid notches and lunar fossa. When the wrist joint is under axial stress, the intermediate column load is higher than 50% of the axial pressure[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e]. At the 0 \u0026deg; position of the wrist joint, the matching area of the sigmoid notch and the ulnar head's articular surface is the largest. When the forearm is pronated or supinated, the matching area of the two decreases. At the junction of the sigmoid notch of the triangular fibrocartilage origin and the lunar fossa, the stops are widely attached to the triangular bone, the hook bone, etc., forming a stable structure of the lower ulnar radius and the ulnar side of the carpal bone[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e]. If the fracture line involves the sigmoid notch, the distal radioulnar joint will be damaged, which changes the biomechanics and movement trajectory of the wrist and forearm. Post-traumatic sigmoid notch healing due to steps or gaps may cause wrist pain, instability, or loss of range of motion[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. Therefore, it is particularly important to emphasize the reduction of the intermediolateral column. Among them, restoring the anatomical structure of the Distal radioulnar joint, especially the anatomical reduction of the sigmoid notch, is very important.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMelone focuses on and supplements the classification of the carpal surface of the distal radius. This classification emphasizes the importance of lunar fossa and its clinical prognosis, and include the formation mechanism of die-punch fractures analyzation. This classification benefits to identify surgical indications for intra-articular fractures and guide of intraoperative reduction and fixation, but it is useless in classifying extra-articular fractures. It is difficult to judge the four characteristic fracture blocks of the distal radius and the die-punch bone blocks based on X-rays alone without extensive experience. There is no satisfactory result on the observer consistency study of Melone typing. Melone classification includes five types based on the dorsal medial bone mass on the articular surface, the medial volar bone mass, the radial styloid bone mass, and the radial shaft. There may be some differences and variations in the four parts of the articular surface of the distal radius according to our judgment, in which the dorsal part of the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa are collectively summarized in the dorsal part of the 123 classification. Based on many studies on the characteristics of the fracture of the radial surface of the articular surface and the fracture of the articular surface, this study found that the dorsal part of the scaphoid fossa and the lunar fossa could be damaged at the same time due to the back extension of the wrist, was also verified in the analysis of patient imageology data [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR33 CR34\" citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec16\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSignificance of 123 classification system for incision selection, reduction, and fixation\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause there is a stable radial wrist ligament between the lunar bone and the palamris or dorsal part, subluxation of the wrist joint is in 1-D and 1-V fracture. In this case, it should be fixed firmly by surgery. For 1-D fractures, the dorsal approach is preferred for reduction and fixation. If Henry approach is chosen, it will not only increase the difficulty of restoration but also may result in poor restoration and fixation strength due to failure to reset, particularly in lateral collapse. The dorsal approach uses a straight incision between the third and fourth extensor compartments, placing the steel plate in the fourth extensor compartment.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSimilarly, 1-V fracture require a palmaris approach for reduction and fixation. If a dorsal approach is chosen, it will not only increase the difficulty of reduction but may also lead to poor restoration. When the palmaris part and the dorsal part are involved at the same time, the palmar approach is preferred for reset. For cases where the dorsal part cannot be reset through the palmar approach, a dorsal approach can be selected to assist in reset.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRikli et al. confirmed in vitro studies that during regular wrist movements, the lunare fossa and radial sigmoid notch were subjected to \u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;50% axial pressure[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e]. The level of CT can be used to intuitively and accurately determine the number of fracture lines passing through the lunare fossa. When the fracture line of the radial sigmoid notch passes, the radial sigmoid notch should be reduced and fixed first to avoid the abnormal healing of the radial sigmoid notch. While restoring the anatomical restoration and stable fixation of the sigmoid notch, it is necessary to take into account the stable fixation of the palmar and dorsal columns to avoid secondary displacement caused by a weak reset or poor fixation of the palmaris or dorsal columns. A slight subluxation of the near-wrist carpal bones, thereby ensuring the restoration of the kinematics of the wrist joints.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaken together, there are theoretically and practically significant for selecting incisions, guiding the reduction of the fracture block, and placing the steel plate about judging the damage of the three parts by correctly understanding the fracture type and the displacement direction of the fracture block by visually analyzing the three planes of the CT.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec17\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAdvantages and disadvantages of the 123 classification system\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study is a retrospective study. All the included cases originated from inpatients, severe fractures in many patients. It is inevitable on case selection bias and statistical bias. Besides, the number of cases of some types is small due to incomplete image data of some patients, and the included research subjects are mainly inpatients; of course, some types may indeed be due to the small number of cases in the clinic, further verification is necessary. The larger sample size is necessary for practice and validation in the future. At the same time, more retrospective and prospective studies are necessary to verify the effectiveness of the 123 classification system in order to help better the surgeon understand the type of fracture in clinical work, and then formulate a surgical plan to obtain the desired results and judge the prognosis. Moreover, no control group treated non-operatively exists, constitutes another weakness of this study.

At the same time, it benefits to improve the accuracy of typing, so it has better observer consistency. Besides, the 123 typing system is comprehensive and easy to remember.

Three observers evaluated the image data of 48 randomly selected cases based on CT at different time nodes of T1 and T2. Cohen's kappa was used to calculate the consistency.
