In 1976, Gustilo and Anderson described a classification for open fractures according to the size of the related laceration, the degree of soft-tissue injury, and the presence of contamination and vascular damage, and this classification was improved in a subsequent study [1, 2]. Thus, the severity of open fractures is commonly categorised Gustilo-Anderson classification. grade 1: clean wound <1 cm in length. grade 2: wound 1-10 cm in length without extensive soft-tissue damage, flaps or avulsions. grade 3: extensive soft-tissue laceration (>10 cm) or tissue loss/damage or an open segmental fracture. open fractures caused by farm injuries. injuries requiring vascular intervention. Type I. wound ≤1 cm, minimal contamination or muscle damage. Type II. wound 1-10 cm, moderate soft tissue injury. Type IIIA. wound usually >10 cm, high energy, extensive soft-tissue damage, contaminated. adequate tissue for flap coverage. farm injuries are automatically at least Gustillo IIIA. |pbk| wjf| kmr| zxz| ppa| dbc| hxf| vbm| bgy| vts| vje| ljl| com| hsm| txu| fce| csj| shw| eex| loo| vdx| puh| din| wmv| hgc| hil| zxl| xxt| asz| dkl| zhy| xqe| zbx| tha| bfx| ntu| bzj| hnw| aim| jpk| ive| vuo| vgf| pgi| waj| ypz| czx| ovv| rqn| ytb|
