MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When a fracture happens, it’s classified as either open or closed: Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are displaced, non-displaced, open, and closed. Displaced and non-displaced fractures refer to the alignment of the fractured bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gustilo-Anderson type I open fractures is a low energy injury with wounds less than 1 cm with minimal soft tissue damage. Type II fractures are low to moderate energy injuries with wounds that are greater than 1 cm with moderate soft tissue and muscle damage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple or Closed Fracture. A bone fracture is classified as simple or closed if the broken bone remains within the body and does not push into or out of the skin. Compound or Open Fracture. Incomplete or Partial Fracture. Complete Fracture. 04-Feb-2020

Detailed explanation-5: -Type 1: <1cm wound and clean. Type 2: 1-10cm wound and clean. Type 3A: >10cm wound and high-energy, but with adequate soft tissue coverage. Type 3B: >10cm wound and high-energy, but with inadequate soft tissue coverage. Type 3C: All injuries with vascular injury.
