Asthi - Bhagna

Preface Classification is an essential aid, which guides clinical judgment. It has been developed to facilitate organization of seemingly distinct but related fractures into different clinically useful groups. Ideally, it provides a reliable language of communication guidelines for treatment, and allows reasonable progress to be drawn for a specific type of fracture. However, the "ideal" classification system that would fulfill these requirements does not exist in the modern medical science, still we cal see each and every classification of fracture can be classified under those given by Acharya Sushrut thousands of year back As a result, numerous classification systems are published for each fracture; some are more used in one geographical location than others.

This book makes no attempt to produce a comprehensive list of all classifications. Rather, it includes those practical systems which have proven helpful in everyday clinical practice to a majority of surgeons. This book aims to provide enough essential information to complete the major task of identification and analysis of fracture as per Ayurved as well as modem, which is the first step in treatment. As other systems of classification evolve over time, the likelihood that the classifications in this book will continue to provide guidance for fracture care remains high. I accept responsibility for any shortcomings in this book and corrections will be gladly made in the next edition.
