Effect of clinician's experience and expertise on the inter- and intra-observer reliability of the computed tomography-based classification systems in posterior malleolus fractures.

Three computed tomography (CT)-based classifications, including Haraguchi, Bartoníček-Rammelt, and Mason-Molloy systems, have been developed to better determine the characteristics of posterior malleolus fractures (PMFs). The aims of this study were (1) to determine the intra- and inter-observer reliability of the computed tomography-based classification systems and (2) to investigate the clinical experience and expertise on their reliabilities. Sixty-seven preoperative ankle CT scans of 67 adult patients with "ankle fracture with the involvement of the posterior malleolus"'' were retrospectively identified.
