title: [Classification of post-traumatic soft tissue lesions].
abstract: A successful treatment of fractures with soft tissue injuries depends on surgical principles and on the individual prognosis of each trauma. Classification systems are ment to be an aid in taking therapeutical decisions in the assessment of the prognosis and in comparising of different lesions. In the anglo-american literature the classification of Gustilo in open fractures grade 1 to 3 and the subclassification of grade 3 lesions in A, B and C are the most accepted. In the german-spoken countries the classification of Tscherne and Oestern, dividing open and closed fractures in 4 different categories is the most used.
