The nurse determines that this fracture would be classified as a Third-grade fracture.
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. It is referred to as an open or complicated fracture if the shattered bone pierces the skin. Car accidents, slips, and falls, and sports injuries are the most prevalent causes of fractures.
High-velocity injuries with wounds longer than 10 cm are classified as type III fractures. Injuries of type IIIA have severe crushing soft tissue damage, injuries of type IIIB have a large loss of tissue coverage, and injuries of type IIIC have a significant loss of tissue with a corresponding vascular injury.
Large, frequently infected soft tissue wounds and high-energy fractures (segmental or heavily comminuted fractures) are two instances of Grade IIIA fractures.
