Front (Term)

Fracture of the epiphysis of the bone is completely separated from the metaphysis.

Front (Term)

This fracture involves the partial separation of the epiphysis and physis from the metaphysis. The metaphysis is cracked. Usually has to be reduced and immobilized.

Front (Term)

Fracture extends through the epiphysis and separates a portion of the epiphysis and physis from the metaphysis. Very rare.

Front (Term)

Fracture that extends across the physis, into the metaphysis If alignment is not fixed in surgery, growth will be affected.

Front (Term)

Fracture resulting in crushing of the bone and compression of the physis

Peterson classification for growth plate fractures

Extension of the Salter-Harris classification of growth plate fractures. It adds a type six classification where the epiphysis, physis and metaphysis are removed from the site. An open wound or compound fracture is usually associated with this.

Le Fort fracture I

Transverse segmented fracture through the alveolar process of the maxilla. The detached portion of bone usually holds the teeth.

Le Fort fracture II

Bilateral or unilateral fracture of the maxilla. A pyramid shaped section of the body of the maxilla is separated from the rest of the facial skeleton.

Le Fort fracture III

Involves the complete separation of the maxilla, and/or more facial bones from the rest of the facial skeleton.

Schatzker Type 1

Involve a split in the lateral plateau

Schatzker type 2

Split fracture with an accompanying depression of the lateral articular surface

Schatzker type 3

Involves a depression of the lateral tibial plateau

Schatzker type 4

Found in the medial tibial plateau. These may be split fractures with her without an associated depression fracture

Schatzker type 5

Involves splits to the medial plateau and the lateral plateau

Schatzker type 6

This fracture is the most severe. Involves a dissociation of the tibial plateau and diaphysis.

Pipkin type 1

Fracture of the head of the femur inferior to the fovea centralis with an associated posterior dislocation

Pipkin type 2

Fracture of femoral head superior to the fovea centralis with an associated posterior dislocation

Pipkin type 3

Is a type 1 or type 2 with an associated fracture of the femoral neck

Pipkin type 4

Is a type one, type two or type three with an associated fracture of the acetabulum

Garden 1

Incomplete fracture of the femoral neck

Garden 2

Complete fracture of the femoral neck but is nondisplaced

Garden 3

Complete fracture of the femoral neck with partial displacement

Garden 4

Complete fracture of the femoral neck with complete displacement. Unstable.

Gustilo and Anderson type 1

Fracture with an open wound of less than 1 cm with little damage to the muscle

Gustilo and Anderson type 2

Fracture with a wound greater than 1 cm in length with soft tissue damage

Gustilo and Anderson type 3a

Fracture with a wound greater than 1 cm in size involving extensive tissue damage. Adequate soft tissue coverage.

Gustilo and Anderson type 3b

Fracture with a wound greater than 1 cm in size involving extensive tissue damage. Inadequate soft tissue cover with bone exposure.

Gustilo and Anderson type 3c

Fracture with a wound greater than 1 cm in size involving extensive tissue damage. Involves damage to an artery.

Danis-Weber classification Type A

Fracture is below the syndesmosis

Danis-Weber Type B

Fractures at the joint, level with syndesmosis and the ligaments are usually not torn

Danis-Weber Type C

Fracture above the syndesmosis and may be associated with the tear of the deltoid ligament, and avulsion fracture of the tibia and fractures of the malleolus

Meyerding grade 1

0 to 25%

Severity of the vertebral slip of spondylolisthesis

Meyerding grade 2

25 to 50%

Severity of the vertebral slip of spondylolisthesis

Meyerding grade 3

50 to 75%

Severity of the vertebral slip of spondylolisthesis

Meyerding grade 4

75 to 100%. A ranking of 100% means the upper vertebra slides off the lower vertebra completely

Severity of the vertebral slip of spondylolisthesis

Nalebuffs type 1

PIP joints are flexible in all positions

Swan neck deformity

Nalebuff’s type 2

PIP joint flexion is limited in certain positions

Swan neck deformity

Nalebuff’s type 3

PIP joint flexion is limited in all positions

Swan neck deformity

Nalebuff’s type 4

PIP joints are stiff and have poor radiographic appearance

Swan neck deformity
