Mcintyre Classification of Supracondylar Humerus Fractures

Type Displacement Distal Fragment Tilt (Extension Type)
Ⅰa No displacement Posterior tilt < 5°
Ⅰb No displacement Posterior tilt ≤ 15-20°, medial (lateral) gap ≤ 1mm
Ⅱa Displacement 0-2mm Posterior tilt ≤ 15-20°, or medial (lateral) cortical compression or fracture gap > 1mm
Ⅱb Displacement 2-15mm, ends in contact Various degrees of tilt
Ⅲa No contact between ends, overlap ≤ 20mm or rotational displacement > 15mm, ends still in contact Various degrees of tilt
Ⅲb Large gap between ends or overlap > 20mm, or rotational displacement > 15mm, no contact between ends Various degrees of tilt
