Evans-Jensen classification
The Evans-Jensen classification is a system of categorizing intertrochanteric hip fractures based on the fracture pattern of the proximal femur.
Classification
| Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| I | A | 2-part non-displaced |
| B | 2-part displaced | |
| II | A | 3-part fracture with separate greater trochanter fragment |
| B | 3-part fracture with separate lesser trochanter fragment | |
| III | 4-part fracture | |
gollark: Good, good.
gollark: Another useful Macron feature is that traits can implicitly be used as functions.
gollark: They are "cool", as instead of just returning a function can `yield` to pass some values up to its parent, then get `resume`d.
gollark: Was I unclear? Consider Lua's coroutines.
gollark: Oh, and as all functions are implicitly cooperatively multithreaded coroutines, it is possible for a function to suspend execution and then have the parent edit the locals in it.
