Study Notes
Tibial Plateau Classification
- Named Schatzker.
- Types include:
- I: Split fracture.
- II: Split depression fracture.
- III: Central depression fracture.
- IV: Split fracture with involvement of medial plateau.
- V: Bicondylar fracture.
- VI: Dissociation of metaphysis and diaphysis.
- Mnemonic for types designed to evoke emotional responses linked to relationship endings.
Acetabular Fracture Classification
- Classified by Judet & Letournel.
- Elementary fractures consist of:
- Posterior wall.
- Posterior column.
- Anterior wall.
- Anterior column.
- Transverse fracture.
- Associated fractures include:
- Both column fractures.
- Transverse and posterior wall.
- T-shaped fractures.
- Anterior column or wall with posterior hemitransverse.
- Posterior column with posterior wall.
Ankle Fracture Classifications
- Danis-Weber classification based on fibular fracture location:
- A: Infrasyndesmotic, generally stable.
- B: Transyndesmotic.
- C: Suprasyndesmotic.
- Lauge-Hansen classification based on injury mechanism and radiographic appearance:
- SA: Supination - adduction.
- SER: Supination - external rotation.
- PA: Pronation - abduction.
- PER: Pronation - external rotation.
Open Fracture Classification
- Named Gustilo & Anderson.
- Type I:
- Length: ~1 cm.
- Contamination: Moderate.
- Soft tissue damage: Moderate with some muscle damage, moderate comminution.
- Type III:
- Length: >10 cm.
- Contamination: High.
- Soft tissue damage: Severe.
Normal Distal Radius Parameters
- Radial height: ~11-12 mm.
- Radial inclination: ~23 degrees.
- Volar tilt: ~11 degrees.
