Fracture classification, diagnosis, treatment

Created using ChatSlide

This guide outlines a systematic approach to managing fractures. First, classify the fracture by applying criteria for open, closed, and displacement types, using AO/OTA terminology, while noting any neurovascular issues. Next, diagnose effectively by assessing the injury mechanism and ordering necessary imaging, prioritising urgent cases. Finally, treat by stabilising the patient, selecting appropriate management strategies, and ensuring early rehabilitation while monitoring for complications.
