classification of open fractures

Grades open (compound) fractures by wound size, soft-tissue injury, contamination, and vascular status to guide antibiotics and predict infection.

Type I

Low-energy open fracture with a clean wound under 1 cm and minimal soft-tissue damage.

CondutaGram-positive coverage (e.g. cefazolin or cefuroxime) plus irrigation and debridement.

Type II

Low-to-moderate energy open fracture with a wound greater than 1 cm and moderate soft-tissue and muscle damage.

CondutaGram-positive antibiotic coverage, as for type I, with irrigation and debridement.
verificadoOpen Fracture Management (StatPearls)StatPearls NBK448083, classification text: type II = low-to-moderate energy, wound >1 cm, moderate soft-tissue/muscle damage; gram-positive coverage.
IIIA
3 de 5

Type IIIA

High-energy open fracture with a wound usually greater than 10 cm or severe crushing soft-tissue damage, but with adequate soft-tissue coverage of the exposed bone.

CondutaAdd gram-negative coverage (e.g. an aminoglycoside such as gentamicin) to gram-positive coverage; high-dose penicillin if fecal/clostridial contamination is suspected.
verificadoOpen Fracture Management (StatPearls)StatPearls NBK448083: type III = high-velocity, wounds >10 cm; IIIA severe crushing soft-tissue damage; type III antibiotics add gram-negative (aminoglycoside) and penicillin for contamination.
IIIB
4 de 5

Type IIIB

High-energy open fracture with significant loss of soft-tissue coverage and periosteal stripping, leaving exposed bone that requires a soft-tissue flap for coverage.

CondutaGram-positive plus gram-negative coverage with irrigation/debridement; soft-tissue flap reconstruction for coverage.
verificadoOpen Fracture Management (StatPearls)StatPearls NBK448083: IIIB = significant loss of tissue coverage requiring a flap; type III combined gram-positive and gram-negative antibiotic regimen.
IIIC
5 de 5

Type IIIC

Open fracture with an associated arterial injury requiring repair, regardless of wound size.

CondutaGram-positive plus gram-negative coverage and urgent vascular repair.
RiscoBy definition involves an arterial injury requiring repair, carrying the greatest limb-loss/amputation risk among the grades.
verificadoOpen Fracture Management (StatPearls)StatPearls NBK448083: IIIC = significant soft-tissue injury with vascular injury requiring repair; type III antibiotic regimen.
