Gartland classification
The Gartland classification is a system of categorizing supracondylar humerus fractures, clinically useful as it predicts the likelihood of associated neurovascular injury, such as anterior interosseous nerve neurapraxia or brachial artery disruption.

| I | Non-displaced |
| II | Angulated with intact posterior cortex |
| IIA | Angulation |
| IIB | Angulation with rotation |
| III | Complete displacement but have perisosteal contact |
| IIIA | Medial periosteal hinge intact. Distal fragment goes posteromedially |
| IIIB | Lateral periosteal hinge intact. Distal fragment goes posterolaterally |
| IV | Periostial disruption with instability in both flexion and extension |
