A grade IIIA tibial fracture. The initial open wound (A) is small but needs extension (B) to display the zone of injury. There is a comminuted segmental fracture with one clearly devitalised fragment requiring debridement. After debridement direct healthy closure with adequate soft tissue was possible allowing classification as IIIA.
