Orthopedic Fracture Classification - Upper Limbs
Neer Classification of Proximal Humeral head Fractures:
• 1-part
• 2-part: GT, GN, LN (rare)
• 3-part: GT+GN, LT+SN (RARE)
• 4-part: "Classic", “VALGUS IMPACTED”
• Articular Loss: Impression Fracture, Head Split
Gartland’s Classification of Supracondylar Fracture of Humerus:
Type I: undisplaced or minimally displaced fractures.
Type II: displaced with posterior cortex intact
Type III: displaced with no cortical intact
Monteggia Fracture: Fracture shaft of ulnar, together with disruption of the proximal radioulnar joint and dislocation of radiocapitallar joint
Galeazzi Fracture: Distal third of radius with dislocation or subluxation of distal radio-ulnar joint
Colles' Fracture: A distal fracture of the radius with dorsal (posterior) displacement of the wrist and hand
Smith's Fracture: A distal fracture of the radius with volar (ventral) displacement of the wrist and hand
Barton's Fracture: An intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint
Essex-Lopresti Fracture: A fracture of the radial head with concomitant dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint with disruption of the interosseous membrane
Frykman Classification of Distal Radial Fractures:
• Type I: Extra-articular radial fracture
• Type II: Extra-articular radial fracture with an ulnar fracture
• Type III: Intra-articular fracture of the radiocarpal joint without an ulnar fracture
• Type IV: Intra-articular fracture of the radius with an ulnar fracture
• Type V: Fracture of the radioulnar joint
• Type VI: Fracture into the radioulnar joint with an ulnar fracture
• Type VII: Intra-articular fracture involving radiocarpal and radoulnar joints
• Type VIII: Intra-articular fracture involving radiocarpal and radoulnar joints with an ulnar fracture
Fracture of base of the first metacarpal bone:
A) Bennett
B) Rolando Y
B') Rolando T
C) Comminuted
