title: [Who is who in the fractures of the upper and lower limb].
abstract: The precision is a major factor in the communication of medical facts and data. Predominantly, it is reached by the use of classification systems. However, many of our classifications do not provide an unlimited use in the day-to-day practice. Thus, particularly in the field of traumatology, colloquialisms play a major role. They provide a high degree of information transmission. However, it is a must for all members of a trauma team to fully understand the definitions of such terms and use them in the same manner.
