Describing fractures
|
OLD ACID
- open vs closed - location (bone, anatomic orientation/landmarks, segment) - degree (complete vs incomplete) - articular extension - comminution/pattern (transverse, oblique, spiral, linear/longitudinal, segmental, comminuted, buckle/torus, greenstick, compression, distraction/avulsion) - intrinsic bone quality - displacement (distal rel. to prox. in long axis), angulation (direction apex rel. to long axis), rotation (distal rel. to prox.) |
