A Novel Methodology for the Study of Injury Mechanism: Ankle Fracture Analysis Using Injury Videos Posted on YouTube.com
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 07/29/2010
Kwon JY et al. – The authors series shows that when in vivo injury videos are matched to their corresponding x–rays, the Lauge–Hansen system is only 58% overall accurate in predicting fracture patterns from deforming injury mechanism as pertaining to SAD and PER injury mechanisms. All SAD injuries correlated but only 29% of PER injuries resulted in a PER fracture pattern. This study illustrates the ethical and practical difficulties of using public access Internet YouTube videos for the study of injury dynamics.
