    • closed versus open
    • location
    • comminuted, segmental, multifragmented
    • displacement
    • angulation
    • rotational alignment
  • OTA classification
    • radial and ulna diaphyseal fractures
      • Type A
        • simple fracture of ulna (A1), radius (A2), or both bones (A3)
      • Type B
        • wedge fracture of ulna (B1), radius (B2), or both bones (B3)
