Abstract
Open tibial shaft fractures are one of the most common long bone injuries encountered. Current existing classifications are designed to characterize the nature of the injury and guide clinical decision making. However, despite these advancements, there are areas in our current classification system that can be improved to not only make reliability more producible but also create prognostic factors that can help guide treatment.
