Class I
determines if bone is partially or completely broken through
Class I: open
bone is no longer intact with itself
Class II: close
only a portion of the bone is no longer in union
Class II: open
including the involvement of muscle, tendon, ligaments, skin where all have been exposed and bone is protruding out of the skin
Class II: close
everything is contained; skin is not broken
Class III: linear/ transverse
across the shaft of the bone (best healing fractures because they are a complete break)
Class III: oblique
type of fracture that extends outside or twisted a little bit (“off to the side”)
Class III: comminuted
in 2+ fragments; usually cant see since they are in pieces (hard to fix)
Class III: spiral
like a corkscrew
Class III: greenstick
“cant break”
-barely splintered
Class IV: displaced
bone no longer in alignment with periosteum
Class IV: non-displaced
intact and bone somewhat in alignment
