    Supracondylar fractures - Gartland classification of extension fractures

    Gartland classification is used for classification of supracondylar fractures that are common in children. It divides them into three types according to displacement of fragments.

    Type Description
    Type 1 Undisplaced of minimally displaced fracture
    Type 2 Displaced distal fragment with dorsal angulation and intact posterior cortex
    Type 3 Complete posterior displacement with no cortical contact
