| #Open versus Closed | | #REDIRECT[[Fractures (main)]] |
| #Location
| |
| ##Intra-articular versus articular
| |
| ##Mid-shaft, proximal 1/3, or distal 1/3
| |
| ##Supracondylar
| |
| ##Intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, femoral neck, or subcapital
| |
| #Orientation of the fracture line
| |
| ##Transverse
| |
| ##Oblique
| |
| ##Spiral

| ##Comminuted

| ##Segmental

| ##Torus / Greenstick (Peds)
| |
| #Displacement
| |
| ##Extent to which fracture fragments are offset from each other
| |
| ###State in terms of direct measurement (e.g. 4mm) or %width of bones (50% displacement)
| |
| ##Direction of displacement is based on position of distal fragment relative to proximal
| |
| #Separation
| |
| ##Distance the two fragments have been pulled apart (but not offset from each other)
| |
| #Shortening
| |
| ##Amount by which a bone's length has been reduced (expressed in mm or cm)
| |
| ##May occur by impaction or by overriding
| |
| #Angulation
| |
| ##Described in terms of degree and direction
| |
| ###Degree
| |
| ####Calculate amount of "unbending" needed to make fx fragments parallel
| |
| ###Direction
| |
| ####Described by direction of the apex of the angle formed by the two fragments OR
| |
| ####Described by direction the terminal fragment is deviated
| |
| ####Examples: anterior or posterior, lateral or medial, radial or ulnar, dorsal or volar
| |
| #Rotational Deformity
| |
| ##Usually apparent on physical exam, not on radiographs
| |
| #Fracture-Dislocation
| |
| ##Be careful not to describe these injuries as fractures with displacement
