What is the Gustilo-Anderson classification used for?
Open Fractures
Grade 1 Gustilo-Anderson description and antibx choice
Clean wound <1cm in diameter (more so “trauma from within”)

Grade 2 Gustilo-Anderson description and antibx choice
Wound 1-5cm in diameter w/ soft tissue damage
Antibx choice: Ancef and aminoglycoside (gentamycin)
Grade 3 Gustilo-Anderson description and antibx choice

IIIA- adequate soft tissue coverage
IIIB- extensive soft tissue damage w/ periosteal stripping and massive contamination
IIIC- arterial damage requiring primary repair

A patient presents with a gunshot wound, how would you classify this with the Gustilo-Anderson classification?
Controversial-
Dr. Moore believes that GSWs are automatically considered a GA grade III.
Some believe that these injuries could be as low as a grade I
What is the Resnik classification used for?
Depth of foreign body w/ respect to surgical layers
Resnick Grade I description
Superficial/cutaneous (usually visible and w/o local signs of infection)
Resnick Grade II description
Subcutaneous or articular w/o signs of infection
Resnick Grade IIIA description
Subcutaneous or articular w/ signs of infection
Resnick Grade IIIB description
Bone penetration w/o signs of infection
Resnick Grade IV description
Bone penetration w/ known OM
What is the Patzakis classification used for?
It describes the anatomy where OM occurs/is occurring
*Dr. Moore uses this when asking where a puncture wound/foreign body is located
What is a Patzakis zone 1?
Toe to MT head (50% incidence of OM)
What is a Patzakis zone 2?
Midfoot (17% incidence of OM)
What is a Patzakis zone 3?
Calcaneus (33% incidence of OM)
What is the Jahss classification used for?
