According to the localization
If one classifies the fracture according to its localization, there are two variants. If you consider the position on the bone itself, there are three different sections. Fractures on the bone shaft are called shaft fractures' or diaphyseal fractures. In contrast, there are fractures close to the joint, or metaphyseal fractures. Third, there are so-called articular fractures. These are fractures involving the articular surface and luxation fractures. However, this type of classification refers mainly to the long tubular bones.
