Gartland classification of Distal Humeral Fractures

The Gartland classification of supracondylar fractures of the humerus
Type I	no displacement or minimally displaced	Ia: undisplaced in both projections Ib: minimal displacement, medial cortical buckle, capitellum remains intersected by anterior humeral line	Supracondylar fracture: Gartland classification
Type II	displaced but with intact cortex	IIa: posterior angulation with intact posterior cortex; anterior humeral line does not intersect capitellum IIb: rotatory or straight displacement but fracture remains in contact
Type III	completely displaced	IIIa: complete posterior displacement with no cortical contact IIIb: complete displacement with soft tissue gap (i.e. bone ends held apart by interposed soft tissues)
