Wang Yizong Classification of Open Fractures

Chinese scholar Wang Yizong believes that this classification method references too many factors that are inconsistent with each other, which can easily lead to confusion. He recommends classifying open fractures based on the mechanism of injury, dividing them into the following types according to the cause of the open wound:
(1) Open fractures from the inside out
(2) Open fractures from the outside in
(3) Potential open fractures
