Fraturas do colo do talus: avaliação da reprodutibilidade da classificação de Hawkins

Abstract

ObjectiveTo evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of Hawkins' classification for fractures of the neck of the talus.Methods20 random cases of fracture of the talus were selected, to be defined according to the classification of types by eight orthopedic surgeons, 13 orthopedic residents and 15 radiology residents.ResultsUsing the statistical test of Landis and Koch, measurements of 0.627 and 0.668 were obtained in the first and second evaluations, respectively. These values define a satisfactory agreement for Hawkins' classification.ConclusionWe conclude that this classification is reproducible between observers, with better values for the more experienced observers. Level of Evidence I, Study Diagnostic - Investigating a diagnostic test.

Conservative and Surgical Treatment of Talar Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Clinical Outcomes and Complications

“…First, the Hawkins classification [4] modified by Canale and Kelly [6] is the most common classification system for talar neck fractures [69,70]. Drummond Filho et al showed that the inter-and intra-rater reliability of the Hawkins classification was generally satisfactory [71]. However, no reliability studies are currently available for the other classifications considered in the included studies.…”
