Gustilo open fracture classification is the most commonly used method to classify open fractures, to guide treatment and to predict clinical outcomes. Advanced trauma life support is the first line of action in dealing with open fractures and to rule out other life-threatening condition in cases of trauma.Open fractures usually cause more morbidity than closed fractures do, and they can be associated with soft-tissue loss, compartment syndromes, neurovascular injuries, and greater degrees of displacement or bony comminution. 5 It must be recognized that an open fracture is an orthopedic emergency that requires immediate intervention, including operative irrigation, debridement, and.The Garden classification of subcapital femoral neck fractures is the most widely used. It is simple and predicts the development of AVN 1 ,2. Garden described particular femoral neck and acetabular trabeculae patterns which can assist in recognising differences within this classification system 2.
In the United Kingdom (UK), the bed occupancy rate for hip fractures was more than 1.5 million days, which represent 20% of the total orthopaedic beds (Compston et al., 2009). The lifetime risk of sustaining a hip fracture in the UK from age 50 is around 11% for women and 3% for men (Van Staa et al., 2001).OTA Open Fracture Classification (OTA-OFC) Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Nonsurgical Treatment in Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures: A Meta-Analysis; Treatment of Young Femoral Neck Fractures; A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study Comparing Temporary Internal Fixation to External Fixation at the First Stage Debridement in.
Pipkin classification is the most commonly used classification for femoral head fractures, which are uncommon but are associated with hip dislocations. type I: fracture inferior to the fovea capitis, a small fracture not involving the weightbearing surface. type II: fracture extending superior to the fovea capitis, a large fracture involving.
