Result	Bone results	Functional results
Excellent	Union, no infection, deformity < 7°, Limb length discrepancy (LLD) < 2.5 cm	Active, no limp, minimum stiffness (loss of < 15° knee extension/< 15° ankle dorsiflexion), no reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), insignificant pain
Good	Union + any two of the following: absence of infection, < 7° deformity, LLD < 2.5 cm	Active with one or two of the following: limp, stiffness RSD, significant pain
Fair	Union + any one of the following: absence of infection, < 7° deformity, LLD < 2.5 cm	Active with three or all of the following: limp, stiffness, RSD, significant pain
Poor	Non-union/refracture/union + infection + deformity > 7° + LLD > 2.5 cm	Inactive (unemployment or inability to return to daily activities because of injury)
