O’Brien Angulation: I (60°). Displacement/translation also matters; >3 mm or severe angulation predicts need for reduction/fixation. Metaizeau (elastic stable intramedullary nailing) classification is treatment-oriented with percutaneous leverage, intramedullary nail reduction, or open reduction for severely displaced injuries.
