The Comprehensive Classification of Fractures of Long Bones

This book presents a comprehensive classification of fractures of all long bones. The fundamental Principle of this classification is the division of all fractures of a bone segment into three types and the further subdivision into three groups and their subgroups, arranged in an ascending order of severity according to the treatment, and the prognosis. Thus, once a surgeon classifies a fracture, he will have determined its severity and he will have a guide to its best possible treatment.
