CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURE
FRACTURE HEALING
Dr Rekha Pathak and Prarthana R
1) Direct cause
I. Intrinsic causes
II. Extrinsic causes
2) Indirect cause
DIRECT CAUSE
• INTRINSIC CAUSE:
• These are related to either violent muscle contractions and local or systemic
disease
• Muscular contraction :
1. Fracture common in
– superficial position
- Shape
- Osseous structure
2. Smooth road and slippery floor
3. Disease condition of bone
4. Old age
CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURE
• Simple
• Compound
• Complicated
• Incomplete
• Complete
• Avulsion
SIMPLE FRACTURE
• Does not communicate outside
• no wound on skin
COMPOUND FRACTURE
• Communicate with open wound
on skin
INCOMPLETE FRACTURE
• Does not extend through complete thickness of bone
1. Green stick
2. Partial or Splintered
3. Fissured
4. Deferred
Green stick fracture
• Young animals
FISSURED FRACTURE
• Single
• Double
• Multiple
a)Single b)Double c) Communited
AVULSION FRACTURE
• Tearing of bony prominance (tuberosity) by forcible pull of its
tendinous or muscular attachments
COMPLICATED FRACTURE
1. Diphysary
2. Epiphysary
3. Supracondylar
4. Condylar
5. Transcondylar
6. Intercondylar
7. Articular
• Articular fracture
1. Transverse
2. Longitudinal
3. Oblique
4. Spiral
• 1)Transverse fracture
1. Impacted
2. Distracted
3. Depressed
4. Over-riding
5. Compression
IMPACTED FRACTURE
• Charnley classification
• Type 2
• Partially includes the metaphysis
• Type 3
• Intra articular fracture to the
hypertrophied zone and then along
the epiphyseal plate to the edge
• Type 5
• Crushing injury that causes
destruction of growing cells
• Type 6
• New bone bridges the growth plate
SPECIAL JOINT FRACTURE
• Type 5 –
• Sever comminution
• Various combintions of fractures
of the tarsus have been described
as Triads ( Newton and
Nunamaker)
• A system for classification of the soft tissue injury ( muller et al.
1992)
• System may be too complicated for animals – can be used with little
variation
• Integument closed (IC)
• IC1 No injury
• IC2 No laceration but contusion
• IC3 Circumscribed degloving
• IC4 Extensive closed degloving
• IC5 Necropsis from contusion
• Integument open (IO)
• IO1 Skin breakage from inside out
• IO2 Skin breakage from outside in > 5cm,devitalized edges
• IO3 Skin breakage from outside in < 5cm, devitalised edges,
• circumscribed degloving
• IO4 Full thickness contusion, abrasion, skin loss
• IO5 Extensive degloving
• Muscle tendon (MT)
• MT1 No injury
• MT 2 Circumscribed injury, one muscle group only
• MT3 Extensive injury, two or more muscle groups
• MT4 Avulsion or loss of entire muscle groups,
• tendon laceration
• MT5 Compartment syndrome/ crush syndrome
• Neurovascular (NV)
• NV1 No injury
• NV2 Isolated nerve injury
• NV3 Localized vascular injury
• NV 4 Combined neurovascular injury
• NV5 Subtotal / total amputation
• General classification of fractures was developed by by Muller and others of the
AO / ASIF group for human fractures .
• System using alphanumeric classifications combined with electronically stored X-
ray images
• AO - Arbeitsgemeinschaftn fur Osteosynthesefragen
• ASIF - Association for the study of internal fixation
• This has been modified to use in small animals and horse
Two systems for small animals
• 1) Prieur ( Prier et al., 1990)
• 2) Unger (unger et al., 1990)
• These fractures describes the bone , the location and the type of fracture
• Each of the proposed system creates a 4 digit record in a similar wat to the
human AO system
• The Prieur & Unger fracture classification system used only for long bones .
• Not involving the skull , vertebral coloumn , pelvis or small limb bones.

Middle segment 2
Distal Segment 3
•Fracture area( % of bone length )

Example
• The unger system
• Others-
• Intramembranous bone healing- (Mesenchyme---- Osteoblast)
• Trabecular bone healing
• Physeal bone healing
STAGES OF HEALING OF FRACTURE
• Formation of hematoma ( within 24 hours)
• Formation of soft callus (10-21 days)
• Formation of primary bone callus (21 days -6 weeks)
• Formation of secondary bone callus (6-8 weeks)
