The search for a universally accepted system of classifying cleft lip and palate deformities has yielded many models of varying complexity. Recently, there has been a trend toward symbolic classification systems that allow members of the cleft team to quickly assess the nature of the deformity. The existing systems, however, have limitations. These include inadequate description of the cleft lip deformity and complexity of nomenclature. A modification of Kernahan's striped Y classification is proposed that addresses these problems. This system was applied to 150 cleft patients, and it was found that it was able to describe all varieties of clefts encountered. In contrast, the Kernahan system could only describe 74.7 percent of the patients adequately.
寻找一种被普遍接受的唇腭裂畸形分类系统已经产生了许多不同复杂程度的模型。最近，有一种朝着符号分类系统发展的趋势，这种系统能让腭裂治疗团队的成员快速评估畸形的性质。然而，现有的系统存在局限性。这些局限性包括对唇裂畸形的描述不足以及命名的复杂性。本文提出了对克纳汉条纹Y分类法的一种改进，以解决这些问题。该系统应用于150例腭裂患者，发现它能够描述所遇到的所有类型的腭裂。相比之下，克纳汉系统只能充分描述74.7%的患者。
