Pott fracture
bimalleolar fracture
Shepard fracture

Gustilo and Anderson
to describe open fractures
Type I: wound <1cm long. little soft tissue damage, no little comminution associated
Type II: wound >1 cm long. Minor soft tissue damage. Moderate comminution associated
Type III: extensive soft tissue injury with high degree of comminution
IIIA: soft tissue coverage of bone is adequate, traume is high energy
IIIB: extensive soft tissue damage associated with periosteal stripping
IIIC: any open fracture with arterial injury
