Classification of Fractures
Completeness of Fractures
Incomplete fracture
Fractured bone maintains some aspect of cohesion between breaks
Bone bruises/contusions
Bow fractures/plastic deformation
Toddler's fracture
Torus or buckling fractures
Green stick fractures
Vertical fracture
Depressed fracture
Complete fracture
Fractured bone does not maintain cohesion between fractures
Transverse fractures
Oblique fracture
Spiral fracture
Epiphyseal fractures
Comminuted fracture
Indirect or Direct forces
Direct forces
Trauma localized to sight of impact
Tapping fractures
Crush fractures
Indirect forces
Fractures beyond sight of immediate impact
Linear fractures
Avulsion fractures
Traction/tension fractures
Angulation fractures
Rotational fractures
Compression fractures
Authors argue that using a simple descriptive scale for classifying trauma has many limitations
All systems derived from medical literature which is more concerns with soft tissue damage, injury stability, and recovery
Straight medical classification system adoption not recommended
Fractures should be charted using multiple angles, pictures of complete bone and lose up of fracture, and soft tissue damage interpretations should be left to forensic pathologists
Interobserver reseacrh into variation of classification was poor, only 32% complete agreeance with findings
