Vancouver classification
The Vancouver classification is a grading system used in orthopaedics to determine management of post-operative periprosthetic femoral fractures following a hip arthroplasty. It is named for the city Vancouver, home to the University of British Columbia where the authors of the 1995 paper worked.
Classification
Type | Description | Treatment |
---|---|---|
A | Fracture in the trochanteric region | ORIF if displaced |
B1 | Fracture around stem or just below, with well fixed stem | ORIF with cables and plate |
B2 | Fracture around stem or just below, with loose stem but good proximal bone | Revision of femoral component |
B3 | Fracture around stem or just below, with poor quality or severely comminuted proximal bone | Revision of femoral component with proximal femoral replacement |
C | Fracture below the prosthesis | ORIF with plate |
gollark: Er, no.
gollark: It sounds like you want to run the `read`ing and `print`ing bits in parallel. Maybe look at the thread(s) library? I think that's usable for that sort of thing.
gollark: There's not really any particularly good reason I can think of to use CC non-T at this point.
gollark: Oh, yes, obviously.
gollark: And maybe Psi.
