Classification of fracture, for

• Communication among clinicians

• Decision making

• Potential problems

• Treatment options

• Predicting outcome

• Documentating cases

Page 26: Fracture and fracture healing

• OTA Classification

• Oestern and Tscherne Classification of closed fractures

• Gustilo and Anderson classification of open fractures

• Salter-Harris classification of epiphyseal plate injury

Page 27: Fracture and fracture healing

OTA Classification

• The Orthopaedic Trauma Association

• Classification system to describe the injury accurately and guide treatment

• Standard for orthopedics surgeon

• Classification adaptable to the entire skeletal system

• Allows consistency in research

Page 28: Fracture and fracture healing

To Classify a Fracture: OTA

• Which bone?

• Where in the bone is the fracture?

• Which type?

• Which group?

• Which subgroup?

Page 29: Fracture and fracture healing

Oestern and Tscherne Classification of closed fractures

Grade Soft tissue injury Bony injury0 Minimal Simple fracture pattern

Indirect injury to limb1 Superficial abrasion/ Mild fracture pattern

contusion2 Deep abrasion with skin Severe fracture pattern

or muscle contusionDirect trauma to limb

3 Extensive skin contusion Severe fracture patternor crushSevere damage to underlying muscleSubcutaneous avulsion, compartmental syndrome

Page 30: Fracture and fracture healing

Gustilo and Anderson classification of open fractures (type I – type III)

• Type I: – Clean wound smaller than 1 cm in diameter

– Simple fracture pattern

– No skin crushing

• Type II: – a laceration larger than 1 cm

– No significant soft tissue crushing

– Fracture pattern may be more complex.

Page 31: Fracture and fracture healing

Gustilo type I

Page 32: Fracture and fracture healing

• Type III: – Contamination : soil ,water , yard ,fecal– Open segmental fracture or a single fracture with

extensive soft tissue injury– Any opened fracture older than 8 hours

Type IIIA: adequate soft tissue coverage of the fracture despite high energy trauma or extensive laceration or skin flaps.

Type IIIB: inadequate soft tissue coverage with periosteal stripping. Soft tissue reconstruction is necessary.

Type IIIC: any open fracture that is associated with vascular injury that requires repair.

Prerequisites for Bone Healing

• Adequate blood supply

• Adequate mechanical stability

• Proper bone metabolism

• Periosteum

• Bone marrow

Page 50: Fracture and fracture healing

Fracture healing process• Absolute stability : Direct (primary) bone healing:

rigidly stabilized fracture with fracture surface held in contact

eg. transverse diaphyseal fracture of radius and ulnar treated by ORIF

• Relative stability : Indirect (secondary) bone healing: unstable closed fracture, not rigidly stabilized

eg. closed clavicle fracture without surgery• Inadequate stability : non union (pseudoarthrosis)

Page 51: Fracture and fracture healing

1. Healing with absolute stability

- Rigidly contact between bone ends

- Gaps

Page 52: Fracture and fracture healing

Rigidly contact between bone ends

• Lamellar bone can form directly across the fracture line– A cluster of osteoclasts cut across the

fracture line

– Osteoblasts (following the osteoclasts) deposit new bone

– Blood vessels follow the osteoblasts

– New haversian system formation

Page 53: Fracture and fracture healing

Gaps between bone ends

• Prevent direct extension of osteoclast– A Osteoblasts fill the defects with woven bone

– A cluster of osteoclasts cut across the woven bone

– Osteoblasts (following the osteoclasts) deposit new bone

– Blood vessels follow the osteoblasts

– New haversian system formation

Page 54: Fracture and fracture healing

2. Healing with relative stability

- Hematoma

- Granulation tissue

- Soft callus

- Hard callus

- Remodeling

Page 55: Fracture and fracture healing

Hematoma between the fracture ends, in medullary canal, subperiosteal, around bone

Death bone at both ends of fracture site due to loss of nutrition

Inflammatory mediators from platelets, dead cells

Inflammtory cells migrate to the fracture site cytokine angiogenesis and stem cells migration fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts

Vascular dilatation edema

Granulation tissue formation

Page 56: Fracture and fracture healing
Page 57: Fracture and fracture healing
Page 58: Fracture and fracture healing

Primitive mesenchymal cells (stem cells) at fracture site proliferation / differentiation into fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts

=Soft callus=

Matrix (collagen, woven bone, cartilage)

= Cartilaginous callus =

Bone replaces cartilage by enchondral ossification

= hard callus =

Page 59: Fracture and fracture healing
Page 60: Fracture and fracture healing
Page 61: Fracture and fracture healing

=Remodeling =

Replacement of woven bone by lamellar bone

- Osteoclastic resorption

- Formation of new bone along line of stress

• Fracture stabilization

• Treatments that interferes with healing

Page 71: Fracture and fracture healing

Treatment and complication

Page 72: Fracture and fracture healing

Treatment• General aim of management

– Control hemorrhage– Pain relief– Prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury– Remove contamination– Reduction– Immobilization

• For maximal function and minimized complication

Page 73: Fracture and fracture healing

Treatment• Non operative therapy

– Casting after an appropriate closed reduction– Traction (rarely used)

• Skin traction• Skeletal traction

• Surgical therapy– Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)

• Kirschner wires (K-wires)• Plates and screws• Intramedullary nails

– External fixation

• Compartment syndrome: anterior leg

• Infection: open fracture and surgery

• Thromboembolic events

• Avascular necrosis: femoral head and neck

• Post-traumatic arthritis

• Delay union, non-union, malunion

Complications

• Cast– Pressure ulcers

– Thermal burns

– Thrombophlebitis

– Prolonged cast disease: circulatory disturbances, inflammation, osteoporosis, chronic edema, soft tissue atrophy, joint stiffness

Page 82: Fracture and fracture healing

Complications

• Traction lack of patient mobility– Pressure ulcers

– Pulmonary / Urinary infection

– Permanent footdrop contracture

Page 83: Fracture and fracture healing

Complications
