Open fracture and gustillo classification

Fracture: Fracture may be defined as a breach in the natural structure of a bone or a cartilage. Fracture is grossly classified into two major catagories, named open fracture and closed fracture. 
An Open Fracture 

Classification of Open Fracture 

Open fracture is one where the fracture fragments come in contact with the external environment. And close fracture is one where the fracture fragments do not come in contact with the external environment. A close fracture is better than an open fracture. An open fracture is dangerous because the chance off infection is more here. And this infection can result in ostiomyelitis or delayed unnion or malunion or non union.
All the open fractures are not equally dangerous. To know, how much dangerous an open fracture is, you have to know the gustillo open fracture classification properly. 
Gustillo open fracture classification is made on the basis of wound size, degree of communication, vascular injury, soft tissue injury and neuro vascular status. 
Type-I Open fracture: This is an open fracture where the wound size is less than 1cm. loss of blood is not so much. No crashing injury is present. 
Type-II Open fracture: This type of open fracture is worse than Type-I. Here the wound size is more than 1cm but less than 10cm. Soft tissue injury and bleeding is moderate.
Type-III Open fracture : Here the wound size is more than 10cm. Communication of the fracture fragment with the environment is more than the previous fracture. This Type-III fracture has some sub division.
Type-IIIa: Here adequate soft tissue is present to cover the fracture fragments. 
Type-IIIb: Here adequate soft tissue is not present to cover the fracture fragments. 
Type-IIIc: Here the vascular supply is compromised.  
Nevertheless the above discussion, one must keep in mind that any open fracture with vascular injury will treated as a Type-III open fracture.

  1. I am deeply concerned about the still increase in population of people living with HSV, HIV, CANCERS, HEPATITIS, STROKES in our society today because of ignorance, to be Frank all this big names are grammars. I saw comments of people DR UTU helped get rid of their diseases, with the increase in population of people living with various diseases and myself as a beneficiary to DR UTU traditional cure I thought I too should reach the world via comment. Many People believed traditional herbs are so primitive and some are even shy to purchase it in public. Some went as far as trashing the legendary name of herbal medicine hiding its numerous advantages and let publicly it disadvantage and yet makes it look big, all this are just for pharmaceutical gain. All pharmaceutical cure are derived from existing traditional herbal cure from ages.
    Yes! I'm here to tell the world the actual FACT! which is; there is herbal cure for herpes, Ebola, HIV, cancers, hepatitis, ulcers, asthma, pile, diabetes and many big names of diseases. all my career I've lived my life believing and making research on this, till I confirmed it four years ago. Since four years ago and till today I still say yes! That among many real traditional herbalist Dr Nze Utu Njoku @ (drutuherbalcure) cures this diseases using African traditional herbs. After he cured me four years ago of genital herpes, ever since then I worked with him distance never a barrier, I'm a living witness to this. And I have directed both genital and oral herpes patients to him and they are permanently cured. I'm Ethan Oliver from Australia and also a herbal dealer and lover. I'm also a researcher on herbs for good health. Which also include Africa traditional herbal treatment, I support Herbal treatment, cure and vaccines. My view is based on my extensive research over a very long period of time, and my conclusion is, there is cure to all natural diseases including HSV, HIV, CANCERS, DIABETES, using the right medications with the right herbalist. Are you herpes positive and permanently want get rid of this disease or any of this big name diseases don't be scared to save yourself, contact Dr Utu for permanent herbal cure.

After five days of treatment and no success I suspected herpes I went for test and it was confirmed. God was my strength I met a doctor for treatment. He gave me Dr Utu's contact. I contacted him immediately, This medication was far amazing that within 24-48 hrs the blisters were crusting over. The swelling and redness was decreasing as well. I was on four weeks herpes medication which I completed before going for test. I went for herpes test and then again back to my doctor who confirmed me herpes negative it was really like a dream.
