The classification of the flexion valgus fracture

Subtypes Configuration of the fracture Status of the column cortex Status of the ACL Injury mechanism Surgical approaches for fractures
I Depression fracture of the posterolateral platform Intact Intact Flexion-valgus force Lateral window of Frosch approach
II Split and depression fracture of the posterolateral platform Incomplete Intact Flexion-valgus force Lateral and posterolateral windows of Frosch approaches
III Depression fracture of the posterolateral platform Intact Ruptured or tibial insertion avulsion fracture of ACL Flexion-valgus force and internal rotation of tibia Percutaneously or lateral window of Frosch approach
